Help - Question on CSS

[keving54]

Hi Everyone,

Just opened up a pro smugmug account and am beginning to develop a 'look' and style that I'll be comfortable with, although I just have a basic understanding of html, CSS etc. On pBase, I could right click on a site that looked nice and view the source, and borrow or at least view how things were coded for that page, and actually look at someone's CSS that way. Is this the way others do it here?
I've read the Help pages here and they contain a few examples of how to change headers, etc., and they point to examples of different styles in others pages, but I haven't seen specifics on how to achieve what they have acheived.
Sorry if this is not clear. I'm sure everyone doesn't start from scratch. Can someone help? Do I really need to go through various tutorials on html, etc, or is there a way to view 'source' on a page that is similar to what I'd like, and incorporate it in my pages?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

BTW, if you click on my pBase account, that is at least the color scheme I'd like to incorprate into smugmug - I'd like to use the 'look' of some of the pages I've seen here.

Hi Kevin :)

Welcome to Smugmug. I have no doubt you'll love it :)

Yes, you can right click and view source on anyone's page and get a good idea as to what is going on there. I've done that many times. Also, this forum is a wonderful place to get answers to most of your questions. Read through some of the most recent threads and you'll find a lot of info on customization. Also a couple of the sticky threads are great resources.

If you have specific questions, please come back to the forum and ask. Someone will help :)
