    Hello, I'm trying to start up a website on freewebs till I can scrape up the cash to buy my own hosting, so I am currently trying to build up my websites template.

    now i'm using the "Cup Of Coffee" template as of now and have been fiddling aroudn with it quite a bit, I have a basic knowledge of html and CSS and have designed some sites of my own but I have no idea how to link the CSS to the page as opposed to having it on every single page and having to edit it individually.

    Now I used this, which I found through google:
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.freewebs.com/outofambience/default.css" type="text/css">

    The URL in there is the source file of my css, which I have uploaded to freewebs.

    Now i've just been putting that at the beginning of the index.htm, do I have to put it in a tag or what do I do, because it doesn't seem to do a thing.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    put it between the "head" tags

    <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.freewebs.com/outofambience/default.css" type="text/css">
    </head>
    <body>
    the rest of your page goes here

    so you found a file on google and are using it as your template???
    at least thats what your post seems to read...:D

    No no, I found the LINK through google.

    and i'll try that link, it'll work, I hadn't been putting it in the header tags.

    Thank you much!
