Help - Blog CSS coding.

Eury's picture
Can anybody point me in the right direction to learn how to add css to my blog? I already have the main style box designed. Just need to know how to code it properly.

I have a bunch of my favorite

I have a bunch of my favorite how-to things bookmarked here :3 I'd start with Unplugged's "The Basics" and "Rainbow structure"

There are also a variety of user-made templates over here.

Make sure you change your blog format to BBCode instead of filtered HTML, too, or your code won't work!

Okay; here's what I am trying

Okay; here's what I am trying to do. I have this image with buttons and everything that I need mapped out. Each button pushed, needs to show a different set of text. Not really looking for anything pre-made, as I will most likely change my blog style every so often. Now I understand how the change the different elements of a page; text color, background, div boxes and so forth. But for the life of me, I cannot get it to work like I can here on this site.

Probably because TEF doesn't

Probably because TEF doesn't play nicely with regular HTML and CSS. You have to de-construct the forum's coding in order to make things work, and it doesn't typically accept things like JavaScript. Coding something on an outside page and then importing it typically ends in failure.

You should be able to re-construct that layout with the "For Loop" code from AlisonRobin on that page I linked earlier, though. Browsing through some of the templates may help you figure out how it works.
