What am I doing wrong here?

[Deron]

Sorry this is a double post...I posted in the wrong forum first. 

I have everything installed, but it doesn't recognize my stylesheet.  Maybe I am just going about this bass ackward?  I've already got a site up (www.deronsizemore.com).  I'm just playing around with the CMSMS to test it out.  I wanted to impliment it with this current site to just experiement.  Well I add the "template" although I do not think I did that right either.  I just copied and pasted the html code into the editor and did the same for the css stylesheet.  For the template its got the info on there, but since the site is "tableless" the overall look of the site is located in the stylesheet which CMSMS must not be recognizing.  Do I need to upload all images, etc into the CMSMS or should it automatically recognize them from my webserver? 

Also are there any little codes I need to use for CMSMS?  For example if I have an area on my site:

does it need to have something in between the tags to be recognized by cmsms?  I've seen somethings like {content} or {news}? 

I know I have about 5 different questions here...sorry about that I'm just confused.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.  I had no idea it would take me this long to install it and get it set up.

Hope this makes sense, if not I'll clarify better!  :=)

Well, if you've built a template that has your HTML code as well as your style sheet, you are off in the right direction.

Some mods need to be made in order for your stock code to work, however.

For example, in your HTML block, wherever you are pointing to your CSS file, you need to replace with this:

Code: Select all

{stylesheet}

Then also in your HTML, wherever you want the content to show up, you need to put this tag:

Code: Select all

{content}

After that comes any formatting and cleanup you may need to do...

Hopefully this helps point you in the right direction.
