Creating and Editing Style Sheets

The style sheets that control the look and feel of your website can be managed on the Style Sheets Setup from of accessed through Publish->Edit Style Sheets on the toolbar. Gallery Express is shipped with a number of style sheet profiles that can be modified to your needs. Additional style sheet templates will be available on our website. If you wish to have a customized style sheet created especially for you, visit our website or contact your Gallery Express sales representative for more information.

There are two style sheets available for each profile. The first style sheet titled Internet Explorer is used by Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) whenever your visitor uses IE to visit your web site. The style sheet titled Netscape is used by Netscape or other browsers whenever your visitor uses a browser other that IE to visit your site.

To manage your style sheets, follow the instructions below. If you will be creating or modifying style sheets yourself, we suggest viewing More information on Style Sheets for some links to recommended sites that will provide further information on style sheets.
