linking stylesheets! go-scarecrow.
this tutorial is geared mostly towards beginner site owners, so you will need some concept of html and css for it to be useful.linking stylescripts?!
in the code for your site, you're probably going to have css that changes frequently with the layout. what many beginner site owners do is paste their css (I'm talking everything between [style] and [/style]) on every page of the site, then if they want to make any alteration to the coding ("I think I want green links instead of pink ones") or change their layout entirely they have to run through every page of their site and copy and paste the new code into it.
this
is
a
bummer!
what you can do is make a page with all of your css in it, upload it, then "link it" from every page of your site, INSTEAD of pasting the code there. then, if you want green links instead of pink, or something looks funny, all you do is make a change to that ONE file, and the change appears on all the pages you've "linked it".
1. first, take all of your CSS (that's everything in between [style] and [/style], and paste it into a program like notepad or gedit. save it as css.htm and upload it to your site. 2. INSTEAD OF your CSS on a page, copy and paste this code into where it originally was.
instead of path/to/stylesheet.htm, replace it with the url of your newly uploaded css.htm. for instance, my css page is located at http://go-scarecrow.net/css.htm
after pasting this in place of your css, you should be able to access your pages and have them display all of the CSS in css.htm. when you want to make changes to your CSS, just edit css.htm
