Got something to say?
Buy My Book!
Update July 2008: If you like these tutorials and would like to read more like these, except updated for ExpressionEngine 1.6 and with tons more information, tips, tricks and recommendations, check out my new book, Building Websites with ExpressionEngine 1.6. Available either directly from Packtpub.com or from your local online bookstore (such as Amazon), this book uses the same clear, step-by-step approach found in these tutorials and walks you from the basics of installing ExpressionEngine to everything you need to know to have an ExpressionEngine website you can be proud of. (No prior knowledge of ExpressionEngine assumed).
Okay, I admit if you purchased Expression Engine, you probably already know how to write HTML…

I wouldn’t assume that...there are lots of noobie html questions in the forums.

That’s true. So, with that in mind, I’ve tried to make the tutorial a bit easier to follow: instead of all the code being in one huge chunk at step 9, it’s now spread out over a few steps…

I’m just getting started with EE and I find it very confusing regarding knowing what variables need to be changed in templates to make sure that they sync up with style sheets. An important tutorial to write would be a basic overview about how all of the top level parts of EE fit together.
I like what you did in this tutorial. KEEP UP THE GGOOD WORK!!!

What you need is one of the following two lines of code in the top of your template (somewhere after <head>), so if it’s in a weblog template group, and your stylesheet is called ssheet, then you’d write “stylesheet=weblog/ssheet” inside curly brackets { }. See tutorial 2 for a proper example (the formatting is lost in the comments field)…
<link rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ href=’INSERT STYLESHEET LINK HERE’ />
<style type=’text/css’ media=’screen’>@import “INSERT STYLESHEET LINK HERE”;</style>
Thanks for the compliment & the tutorial suggestion - I’ll see what I can do!

I’ve started writing a tutorial 0 (http://www.leoandmeg.com/welcome/tutorial/tutorial0/) which is intended to be a basic overview of how everything works…

Great tutorial. What sort of features are available in the free version?
