Re: css general question

Ok, I created a new folder in the root folder called "css' I didn't put a dot
(.) before it. Is this correct?
I am using the split screen and am trying to learn the basics first, while
learning the code as I go. I have most of the panels open on my laptop, and the
document window (w/the split screen) on my remote monitor on my right.
I understand the cascading effect of the sheet v/s the head hierarchy for the
most part. If I wanted to make a style sheet for the home page (final.html) the
book says to press the "new css rule" button on the css panel. Then this opens
and then I hit the "new style sheet" button, then the "Save as" panel opens and
I save this in the "css" folder. I name the file ".final" ? or ".finalhtml.css"
or ????? Also, I just noticed the -document/ site root- drop down on the bottom
of the save as window. Should this be entered as "site root" relative???
Or am I just totally lost?
