Add different CSS layout to groups

How To Theme Groups:

I'd like to share with you all with this tip.

Example is here. I changed only background in group.

And so:

1. You will need program: Notepad.
2. Create new file. Add all your layout code to new file.
3. Save as: title.css. Remember !!! File must be .css.
4. Now you must host your file. Host it for example to comment box - don't save it, only copy the url file.
5. Edit text box in group.
6. Put this code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="title.css"></link>

Replace title.css with url code your hosted file.

7. Save.

Have fun with layouts.

PS. Sorry for my English. I hope you understand everything ;)

Hi Farah,
I don't believe this works for a page, just groups. A page would need code in Analytics to check for which page.
Best,
Jen

This is a great tip... i was wondering, could we also aplly this trick to a group on www.socialparadox.com?

It probably will, due to "linking a stylesheet" is a standard command. It's worth a try.

Jen

true...and that beautiful standard command let me create 50 different state based support groups for land surveyors in the U... (so far) each with their own style and features- personally i like Hawaii and New Mexico
btw thank you Jen for all of your dedication...
