5.3. Creating Blog Elements in CSS

Templates work by defining page elements in the CSS and then using them in the HTML. For example, in the primary CSS file called photoblog.css, there is an element that defines the area of the screen that is set aside to display your blog design, like a chalk pattern outline. It is called blogstylearea and is defined as follows:

#blogstylearea{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
width:930px;
left: 30px;
margin-bottom: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
}
