CSS means "Cascading Style Sheets" and is a system of rules that directly effect the display properties of your web pages such as colors, fonts, colors, layouts. CSS style blocks are also commonly referred to as rules can be embedded into an individual HTML page or placed in an external file to be used by many individual pages on your site. Thus changing a property in one place in the linked style sheet will immediately make that change on every web page linked to it.
All of BasicTemplates.com's web templates use linked style sheets as this is the most diversified way to manage any number of web pages.
You will find this code in the HEAD section of each of our web templates:
LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="btstyleX.css"
The "X" represents the template number. Therefore, template number 54 will have a style sheet named btstyle54.css linked to it in the HEAD section of the HTML code.
You can edit your style sheet with an text editor such as Windows Notepad. These days most quality HTML editors will allow you to edit a style sheet from within its own software. Consult your HTML editor help section for the exact steps on how to edit an external style sheet with your software.
CSS is very easy to learn and some say it makes more sense than the HTML web programming language. The only reason not to use External CSS up until now is because you didn't know about or you didn't know how.
BasicTemplates.com's designs have been the answer to a quick and effective web desgin with External CSS since 1994.
