I've searched the forum for hours on this without success.

A little documentation on the page layout stuff would go a looooonnnnnggg way to helping newbies

thanks

OK - think I've figured it out - enter css into the header / main / footer blocks of the template?

Not sure if this is an efficient place to define styles?

Would have thought there would be some way to link an external stylesheet - is this what the custom field in page layout is for?

guess I haven't really figured it out...

i think, to include external css files place it in "html head" section.
then u can can use ure own css file.

OK got it.

Use the header section of the template to place a link to your own css style sheet.

Then click "custom" in the rendering section of the page layout.

Finally your css template is then placed in the "main" section of the corresponding page template. Use replacement tags for the dynamic bits.

Don't worry with body tags etc as they are inserted automatically.
