The available files for editing vary from template design or what the template designer allows for editing.
- CSS stands for cascading style sheets. This controls many elements of the look and feel of your site.
- HTML or master files are the files which control where positions are defined and placed. It should be noted that, with a few exceptions, what is in the .css and HTML files largely depends on the approach of the template designer.
One common change is to use your own graphic/image. Graphics are linked to the HTML file. Simply change the reference to the image of your choice. Keep in mind that if it is a different size than the original image this may change the appearance of the site in unexpected ways.
