Hi all. Have just designed my first web site. Hosted with weebly which is predominately WYSIWYG. But have been adding flash and messing around and been looking up html and css and having a play. Unfortunately I am a complete novice and do not understand WHERE I have to edit(at which point/line) the html. I cannot find it when i try to edit my page in the html. Do I have to add commands first and then edit with css? You see I am lost. I am the type of person who will pick things up as I go along, as I will play and experiment to learn, but I need to know where to start!
Basically I want to know where to edit and what commands to use. I have included my home page css file as attachment, and my html as paint screen shot image.
Also included 2 screen shots of my web page.
In my front page I would like to place a box/ border around the whit text below 'about this site' . I mean, do I need to add a line in html first? Where abouts would I put it? Also how would i move things around ? for example if i wanted to move the image of the horses up/down/ etc.. or the flash logo same?
On my front page I want to change the heading image of the horses at top of page, and change the attributes of the surrounding border,Changing appearance and colour. Again where do i go to edit this? what line? and command?
I know it's asking a lot but it really would be appreciated big time if sombody could help me out here.
Thanks. ok have just found out cant upload screen shots/ css or html file. so you will have to look at my page.My Webpage

No, you can just add the border to the CSS you already have in the style attribute of the DIV the flash is in. For example like this.

There are no commands in HTML. HTML elements are containers. They begin with a start tag, end with a closing tag and everything in-between, everything the element contains, that may be text or other elements or both, is part of the element. You can see from the result of the above that the flash movie is inside the DIV.

Had that DIV instead contained several paragraphs of text and you had made the text color red for the DIV, the text in the paragraphs would have become red unless something else was specified for them.

Don't use WYSIWYGs. I know it's tempting at first, but they write messy code and you won't learn anything useful.
