css selector clearly explained

http://www.btinternet.com/~wildfire/articles/11.htm

Q: what's a "selector", in one sentence of plain english?
A: bit of a CSS definition that says what the styles are applied to

Q: 3 basic types of selectors?
A:
* HTML Elements, such as <P> tags, <IMG> tags etc.
* Elements with a specific class, for example an element with the
class "mystyle" (<P CLASS="mystyle">)
* Elements with a specific ID, for example an element with the ID
"myparagraph" (<P ID="myparagraph">)

Q: pseudo selectors's signature, purpose, eg?
A: Examples of this are link states (unused, visited, active) and
first lines and letters. The selector has a colon after it with the
state before the definition. An example of this is the CSS definition
for changing the colours of link colours:

A:link {color:blue;}
A:visited {color:green;}
A:active {color:gold;}

Q: nested selector example?
