Solve : HTML and CSS stylesheet not linking or ??

Answer»

Hi. I am trying to create a website for my son. I created the site on geocities (yahoo). I tried to link my stylesheet (.css). It either is not linking or something is wrong with my stylesheet. Could someone please look at them and tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks so much. I cannot attach the stylesheet. It is mystyle.css. It is at www.geocities.com/mommyofash/mystyle.css. To view the website (and the source) Go to www.geocities.com/mommyofash. Click on Asher.  You will need to type in the password. It is laurence.
CrystalI presume you created the web pages online via some a web browser interface with some KIND of Geocities html editor.  Is that right?  I'm not sure, but I'd guess CSS may not work with that, and that's all there is to it.  

If you want to use CSS in developing your website, you need to get a real website, i.e. www.mommyofash.com, develop your pages on your computer, and upload them to a web server, which most likely will not be free but can cost as little as a few DOLLARS a month.Well.. how then could I convert all the work I did on my css stylesheet back to html? I should have just done it that way in the first place. Sigh..
Help?Well, I just found some info from a Google search.  Perhaps I was wrong.  Take a look at http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/7584.htm.  Perhaps it will work.I just tried a new website. Still not working. I tried the tag as you suggested. The following is my html for my index. If it is linked right and the CSS is wrong, what will it show?

And, you have actually placed codes for some of the styles/fonts in your CSS file into your HTML files, right?  I don't see anything wrong with your coding to link to your CSS file.  If this isn't working, I'm still wondering whether it will work when creating web pages through an online web page creation tool such as the Geocities tool you're using.  I'd REALLY like to see someone who has worked with Geocities to chime in here.  My experience with CSS was using it with web pages created with Microsoft FrontPage.

Do you have FTP access to your web pages in Geocities?  Can you download them to your computer and work with them there for testing purposes?

How many pages do you have or plan on having in your site?  If a small number, pursuing this may not be worth the effort.  Just use the font options that the Geocities web creator provides.Why not just use HTML STYLE tags, and keep the stylesheet within the same page?

But I agree with the above comments.  Geocities sites are beset by tinkering on the part of Geocities; they are totally unsuitable for advanced web DESIGN, because of the amount of interference by the host.

There are better free web hosts out there.  Or you could pay for ONE...
