Forum:How to write a css page

Wikia - creating communities

I like to know how to change the CSS page to make my wikia to look like what the users wanted it to be. I am curious of the fact of the matter that I can write a HTML format and not CSS format. How do I get help to do this or get someone to do this for me? Thanks. Sundogs ^{user talk | Soap Operas Wiki} 23:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

What are you calling HTML format ? See this as a reference : [1]. — TulipVorlax 23:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Let me rephrase. I know how to write in HTML format not CSS format. Any hints. Sundogs ^{user talk | Soap Operas Wiki} 23:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, it's more understandable now. You know HTML but no CSS.

CSS can make use of the attributes class, id and at times style. You know what is an HTML attribute dont you ?

When in HTML you write <div height="50px" width="100px"> </div>, with CSS you can do <div class="box1"> </div> and have a CSS rule for all thing in your site that use the box1 class.

Exemple:

.box1 {
   height:50px;
   Width:100px;
}

That is for the basics. I suppose you just have to search the Internet to learn CSS. — TulipVorlax 18:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

If you want examples of wikis that have customized their skins and look through their code, see Customizing Monaco on Wikia Help.--Richard 21:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
