Very basic, first timer question

[kittycat]

Yes I´m new and on the verge of a mental breakdown.
This forum is great,full of info but I´m lost:

"Open your style sheet..."
Where is my style sheet?????
or
"Open: includes/templates/ and add a folder"
Where do I find this ???

I might be amazingly stupid but I´m on this for 4 hours now and ready to give up. Anyone who can help or point me to the right link in the forum?
Thank you very much!
K.

To edit the files in general and the stylesheet specifically, you need an FTP application to allow you to directly access the files on the server. Filezilla is free and is very popular.

You can use the file manager in your host's control panel, but this is not recommended as it is usually a very cumbersome way of doing things.

What most of us do is download a copy of ZC and unzip it on our computers (as opposed to a website). You can then create the folders and edit the files we talk about on the forum. Once you do that, you can FTP the result up to your website which is what Ryk is talking about. It's not as complicated as it sounds. Once you unzip ZC onto your computer, you'll see the folders and files you've been reading about.
