Actually, the correct answer is you don't GET CSS anywhere... It's installed on the web server. You USE it - examples are at that link.

as an example...here's some code from my profile page

Code: Select all

<a style="display:block; height:100px; width:100px; background:url('http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4677/smalllafielissmallmw5.jpg'); background-repeat:no-repeat;">
everything inside of style is css. If you want to learn more, I found this site to be extremely helpful

You'll probably have to change the position of the image you put into your profile. To do that, put the following somewhere into the css:

Code: Select all

position:relative; top:[x]px; left:[y]px
more code from my profile

Code: Select all

<a style="display:block; position:relative; background:url('http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/2/haseoup1.png'); width:215px; height:300px; left:300px; top:-20px; margin-bottom:-300px;"></a>
(margin-bottom is just for aesthetics, makes it so that there is no gap between whatever was before the pic and what comes next)
Hope this helps

CSS is client-side actually, built into the browsers themselves.

KamakuraNeko:
You put it in your video comments section. For example, on your video "Blueberry"... you would put it right where you typed, "Made entirely with anime openings (and one ending). And no, i don't know why i called it "Blueberry"."

when you edit your comments, it would look like this

Code: Select all

<a style="display:block; background:url('http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/2/haseoup1.png'); width:215px; height:300px; left:300px;"></a>

Code: Select all

<a style="display:block; background:url('url to your image here, yes keep the single quotes'); height:[height of image in px]px; width:[same thing as height]px; background-repeat:no-repeat;"></a>
replace "url to your image here, yes keep the single quotes" with the url of your image
replace "[height of image in px]" with the image's height
replace "[same thing as height]" with the image's width

consult previous examples when needed. When you're done, it should look like this

Code: Select all

<a style="display:block; background:url('http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/2/haseoup1.png'); height:300px; width:215px; background-repeat:no-repeat;"></a>

Please, take a minute to look at my previous post.
Compare the text in the first code thing to that of the second code thing.

I use imageshack to upload images. When you are done uploading, you'll want to copy the direct link (the stuff under "direct link" is the url you will use for your image.)
There are other image uploading places, but imageshack is my preference.
