How do I use CSS for My Multiply web site?

Answer 1

Are you referring to the multiply.com website?

If so, I found this in the Help section.

"How can I use style sheets?

To customize your site using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), just go to the Settings page and select Custom CSS. You'll see a text-entry screen where you can override or enhance current style sheet settings with your own designs. Learn more."

See more below at enclosed link.

I don't have a Multiply site myself, but those are apparently the steps for adding your own custom CSS file. If you already have the CSS file you'd like to add, that's the way to do it.

If, however, you would like to create your own, and you don't know/would like to know CSS, just do a quick search for "CSS tutorial" on the web, and I'm sure you'll find some great ones. CSS is remarkably easy to learn, especially if you've already got some HTML background.

Answer 3

CSS allows you to store all the styles you use on your website in a separate file. This means that if you decide to change the color of the text for a particular style, you can do it once and it updates the entire site.

The CSS is stored in a separate file "outside" of your HTM/HTML/PHP file.

There are two ways to include CSS in your HTML - one through an external style sheet and another using styles inside of your HTML (but this isn't the best way to do it since you would need to update every file to make one small change).

So the best way is to use an external style sheet.

You link to an external style sheet in your HTML using this command:



The file "stylesheet.css" can be named anything and can be stored in a sub-directory to keep your site clean.

Your stylesheet is a plain text file and can contain various styles. Here is one:

td, body {font-family: verdana, arial; font-size: 8pt;}

This defines content inside of the TD tag or within the BODY to use the font of VERDANA and if not available then ARIAL and a font size of 8 points.

Or in any search engine, type in "using CSS" or "how to use CSS" to find more resource to help you learn and use CSS in your HTML.

Hope that this helps.
