where do I find Stylesheet.css?

[shaggnasty]

Okay everybody talks about it and tells me to go there to play with the color but nobody tells me where it is. I honestly tried to do a search to find out this info, but the search engine won't let me past the first of like 178 pages. I have been trying to find it on my own, but it seems to be playing hide and seek. Please Help! Thanks! - Robar

it should be in your root folder.

the root folder is the first main folder of your setup, probably named 'catalog'. In this folder you should have a fair few files (I've got over 70) and a couple of folders. One of the files should be called stylesheet.css, if you open it with an editor, you will be able to modify the contents to change the colour of your page.

Thanks I actualy found it in a folder labeled "www" of all places. I have carefully been mokeying with it and noticed that indeed you can change the colors. Thanks for the the help. Sometimes when you are brand new to this stuff it can be a bit overwhelming. - Robar

Yes, the "www" folder is the root of your website.... It is where all the action begins (so to speak) hence the name root.

 

On some hosts the root folder can also be known as the following:-

 

/html/

/www/

/httpdocs/

I forgot how much trouble I had trying to find that when I first started - my root is /var/www/html/ - took a lot of trial and error to figure it all out!!!
