External CSS File

If you’d rather place your CSS code within an external file, you can do so like this:

1. Place all of your CSS code – except the opening and closing style tags – within a plain text page. Save the page as style.css or whatever.css you’d like and upload it to your web server in ASCII mode.

2. Place the following code between your <head> and </head> tags:

Edit the filename to suit your needs.

Save your page as index.html if this is your main page or as your main keyword if it is a sub page. For example, if your page is about doggrooming, you should save your page as doggrooming.html.

There you have it. A simple way to use CSS to format a web page. Copy this code and practice formatting your web page. It’s a great way to learn.

This concludes the CSS tables lesson. In the next lesson, we will focus on CSS Properties.
