    in doing my customization, I have a css file that i wish to use to establish the look and feel of my site. the directions say to customize a "site.css" file. My set up has a "site-dist.css" file, but no "site.css." do i just use the site-dist" file name instead of "site"? :confused:

    I think if you create a site.css file, it will load after site-dist.css and will use what you've added. This is how the language folder works. Give it a shot, you won't be writing over any code since it doesn't exist ;-)

    Upon closer inspection, you SHOULD copy your css to the site-dist.css file and then rename it to "site.css".

    If you open up site-dist.css you'll see that this is it's purpose. I've also looked at the header.html template and it pulls in site.css when it loads.

    Cheers,

    You can name what you want but for a standard install rename site-dist.css into site.css. If you want to give it another name just rename the link rel in the header.
