CSS and text formats

hello in dreamweaver there is basically paragraph , h1, h2, and preformatted. I
was wondering what people do if they want to use more than those titles do they
manual code uptop new names or can I add my custom tags in the format box.

I am a newbie at css and I am just learning today. I mean to use one css file
and running out quick of things to call text to get different size an dcolor
effects etc.

Just any little tips on whats the norm as I teach myself msessing around

I think H tags go up to H5 in DW don't they? Also you can apply classes to the tages such as <p class="bluefont"></p>
then have a style sheet:
..bluefont { styles }

<h#> tags go up to <h6> in HTML. DW does HTML.

Also you can apply classes to the tages such as <p class="bluefont"></p

This would be a last resort, and usually leads to unmanageable bloat of your
CSS files, as they become loaded with custom classes. Learn how to use
descendent selectors and let CSS's cascade do the heavy lifting for you.

And, frankly, if you are running out of things to style your text, I'd say
you are using too many styles on the page.

Yes very true descendant selectors are probably better, although if he has as
many styles as I assumed he had (if he has run out of H# tags) then it would be
a quick way for him to gain styles.
Why does adding classes 'bloat' the CSS as then this class can be added
multiple times to different fonts in different div's or tables etc.
