Also included is a CSS Style Sheet to control all the colours and layout elements in the template. We have tried to keep the style neat and have put in lots of comments so you can customize it if you like. Please note however, if you do not have CSS experience you should make a back up of the style sheet before you attempt to customize it. We will not trouble shoot customized style sheets.

Headings and Hyperlinks

Each section of the template is controlled by a CSS class...so your headings and hyperlinks may appear different in each section of the site. For example below are all the heading and hyperlink styles in this main content section:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4, 5, 6

hyperlink

Each "box" or additional section may have a different Heading and hyperlink style. We have only formatted the Heading 3 tag for these sections. if you use a different heading then it will default to one of the headings above.
