If you want to add some style to your ComicGenesis site, chances are you're going to need to learn to edit HTML. Tutorials/The_Step-By-Step_Guide can tell you how to download your site's templates, and other sites such as W3schools can help you learn HTML code. The Tagtorial explains the special codes that work with the ComicGenesis system.

The question I'm going to answer here is, once you know some code, where do you type it in?

Windows

In Windows, you can edit your HTML files in Notepad. You can find it under Start:All Programs:Accessories. If you open your indextemplate in Notepad, you'll see the raw code and you can edit it.

Mac

On a Mac it's slightly more complicated. Search for and open TextEdit. Click "TextEdit" at the top of the screen and hit "Preferences."

Select "Open and Save," and check the box labeled "ignore rich text commands in HTML files."

Now, when you open your HTML files in TextEdit, you'll see the code and be able to edit it.
