What is CSS? The full name is Cascading Style Sheets and it is the code that constructs a web page. The Themes that you can invoke on your blog are new CSS files that override the basic look of the site and create a page that displays differently. Now, in addition to these themes and uploading a custom header image, Maneno users can tweak the CSS on their blog. They can either employ a theme and change its appearance or they can just start with the utmost basic theme (which the Siteblog uses) and build out something new.

CSS is definitely complex and has a very, very steep learning curve to it with a lot of things that can go work are you work with it, so we don't recommend that people start mucking around with this function unless they have some idea of what they're doing. So, why include it? Because it's a function that isn't available on a lot of blogs, or where it is, you either have to run the blog on your own host or pay an additional fee to get access to it. We're not charging for people to use it because we want this platform to be open and available for people to mold how they see fit. If it helps to encourage more bloggers and web developers, that's great. And if you create a custom CSS setup that is quite complex and cool that you'd like to share, let us know and we can set it up as a permanent theme for other people to use.

All of this taken in to account, this is a very new feature. We've put very few restrictions on it as we want to see how people tinker with it. As issues arise or as we see that something could be done better, we'll work on it accordingly. So enjoy it and see what happens. Just keep in mind that any changes you make will immediately show up on your blog (we will be building a 'sandbox' function soon) and also that you don't need to include an opening and closing 'style' tag. If the system detects that you've made use of this CSS function, it will automatically place your code where it needs to go in 'head' of the document with the appropriate tags around it.

Here's to hoping people have a lot of fun with this!
