Neopians of Neopia's Stylesheet Guide

I know some of you are struggling with CSS stylesheets, and I'm bored, so I think I'll try my best to be as clear as possible on this. @_@;; If you don't understand something, ask. It won't hurt.

Start tag & End Tag

You always, always, ALWAYS start and end a stylesheet with the following tags. I recommend you first open up a program like Notepad, where you can copy/paste while I guide you through.

Formatting Main Text

Say that you want to make ALL of your text 'Georgia'. (This is an example, edit in your Notepad program 'FONTNAMEHERE' with your desired font name) Copy/paste this between your start/end tags. Cursor is what kind of cursor you want rather than the default pointer/hand hover. You can put in crosshair (for a cross), ne-resize (for north-east resize), w-resize (for horizontal resize), n-resize (for vertical resize), wait (for the wait cursor), help (for the help sign, which is a default pointer + a question mark), and much more. You'll come upon more as you visit more and more websites.

About the "letter-spacing" part, if you want to try it out, you should only put in small numbers like: -1px, -2px, 1px, 2px, 3px. And yeah, you can go negative! ^+^

Formatting Links

Want to make all your links (not link hovers, meaning when the mouse is put over a link) the same? Put this -after- the 'body,td,a,font,p' section. REmember, a and a:link are for the original links, a:active is when the user -clicks- on the link, and a:visited is when a link is already visited.

Text-decoration can put underlines, overlines, strikethroughs, overline underlines, and much more to your links/link hovers. If you don't want a text-decoration, just put none. If you want, you can insert underline, overline, line-through, underline overline, etc.

Formatting Link Hovers

This edits the part when the mouse is hovered over the link.

Editing Bold, Italic, and Underlined Text

If you want to spice up your stylesheet, insert this into your Notepad program. Font-weight lets you decide whether or not you want your bold, italic, or underlined text to be bold or normal. If you want the text to be bold, type in bold. If you want the text to be normal, type in normal or light.

Font-style is whether or not you want the text to be in italics or just normal. If you want it to be italic, type in italic. Sometimes that doesn't work, so type in italics. If you want it to remain like normal text, type in normal.
