Can someone please tell me step by step How do I use a CSS template code for webs.com?
I have already created my webpage using webs.com but i don't like their templates. If I've already made my site can I still use a CSS code? If so How do I go about doing it so that I don't lose my information that I've already inputted like paragraphs and pictures? Will It work for all my pages?

- Every template on webs.com has a link to its own CSS file that can be modified. If you make your own pages, then make your own CSS file and link to it using the CSS link tag between the head tags of each page. Just be sure the path to CSS is correct depending on the relationship the file has with the CSS file. Use relative paths only. Should you have all HTML files in the root directory, then just put the CSS file in same directory. Makes the path to it a lot more simple for you.

- Many of the freewebs templates do not have accessible style sheets. If the template that you're using at freewebs does have a style sheet that you can edit, it shouldn't affect the content of the website. The hardest thing about editing the css of an existing template is figuring out what the designer named things. You should be able to change background colours, delete background images, or swap them out. You should be able to change the width of paragraphs, the padding, (how close to other stuff) the fonts of your test.. a whole range of stuff. Anything you change on the template will be site-wide, so you'll want to be careful, only change one or two things at a time, so that you can find them again and change them back (immediately) if it doesn't work as expected. As for how to edit the css, find the file in your files. I haven't worked on freewebs in a while, I switched over to html before they gave access to the css files, but I've worked on the css files of a ton of other templates and forums, wordpress, galleries, and it's all been the same... change the numbers or colours of one or 2 things, and check the results. Sometimes it's helpful to download a back-up copy of the original code for those occasions when I change something and can't put it back. It's always helpful to do a search on the possible when I decide to make changes and need the code, forgetting a comma or a quotation mark or something else real unnoticeable will have me scratching my head for hours, unable to find the punctuation error... and eventually copying the specific code out of the old css to put it back... or comparing the code from the tutorial site. some of those errors can be very difficult to find...
