• I’m one of those “click here to install WordPress” folks, and while I understand the basics of coding, I don’t know all the specific codes that do this or do that within a css file.
    Is there a gui css file editor out there? I would like to be able to make changes to the css file without knowing all the very specific codes that set, for example, background colors, font colors, and fonts.
    I know you real-life coders probably hate this kind of question, but I have to ask it because I don’t have the time to learn the whole code before I put up the web site.
    Also, as long as we’re talking about the layout css file, how do I put a logo in the header of the basic layout?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

  • CssEdit is quite nice but Mac only.

    I use jedit or bbedit for editing the html, then style it with CssEdit. Great fun!

    Bradsoft.com – TopStyle – They have a free version.
    WestCiv – StyleMaster – Not sure if there is a free version.

    OK… I know a little bit about CSS, not much, but I also like to use a GUI editor to edit CSS and give me all the colors and such. I reccomend TopStyle. Even the free version is great!
    Also, some code posted above:
    #header {
    background: #696;
    background-image: url('images/header.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }

    If you really want to break it down, then “background” in there should be “background-color.” Also, you saw it coming… the shorthand version simply combines these three tags into one, simple tag:
    #header {
    background: #696 url('images/header.jpg') no-repeat;
    }

    I actually find CSS pretty simple. You’ll find that most of the style names say exactly what you want them to say. (for instance, “color” changes the color of your font)

    Many of us have a favorite color / code tool. Here is one I just found
