My first theme and css

Thanks all help I got from this forum!

As a new user, with a lot to go though to read, I struggled to understand how theme works
Here are basic step by step on how to create theme and css style and use it.

Go to admin , login , click on Presentation, then
1- create new theme, call it mytheme.
2- again go to Presentation then Styles, select new created theme mytheme
3- Change the Style name to mycss.
4- Paste

body { background-color: lightblue;
}
h1 { color: red; text-align: center;
}
p { font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px;
}

5-Save
6-Go to Pages, create new page call it mypage, and paste:

<txp:css format=“link” name=“mycss” />
<h1>My First Theme and CSS Example</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

6-Go to sections , click create section , call it my menu,

On Uses theme select —-> mytheme
On Uses page —-> mypage
On Uses style —-> mycss

Finally save.

Now, click on my site (on the top admin navigation) , and then check my menu.

Hope this helps
Thank you
