How to access the css/html?
Permalink
I'm trying to change the "my site" to an image header and the info in the faq does not seem to be working for me-the third option says
Alternatively you can get into the files that power your template on the backend and change it there.
How do you find this, I feel like I've clicked every link in the settings and beyond.
Thank you in advance-

thanks for your reply-
The second option sounds pretty easy, however, I can't seem to find the link to where the css for my theme is located. Any tips on that?

google does frown about the text indent method as the text is not visible it can be seen as spam, as Huckleberry said it can be used as the alt text, but if google frowns about it then you could find your self marked down a few points.
Replacing the section depends on the theme you are using, is it a default, or downloaded theme?
These are sometimes found in /packages/customName/themes/themeName/
or sometimes /themes/themeName/
The default themes are in
/concrete/themes/
I don't use the themes on the site so do not actually know where the themes are stored? only ones I have installed.
As for altering the CSS you can do this from the "Pages and Themes" window in the dashboard, go to your active theme and select customize then there should be the option to add your own css.
Its a bit hacky but you could do everything from there if you can not get access to the style sheet.

What do I have to use to access my CSS files?
You can use Filezilla, CuteFTP or other File Transfer Software for this.

If you're able to find it, copy the page its in and paste in the cooresponding folder at the root of your site. So, say you find it in concrete/elements/somewhere.php, copy that file and paste in [root]elements/somewhere.php
This will allow you to over-ride the core w/o messing with it, which is highly recommended, do at your own risk.
Alternately, you could use css and target the site name, then text-indent:-9999px via css and bump the text out of the window, effectively making it invisible to humans, but still present for spiders. Then put in your image via CSS as a background-image. Very easy technique. I've read Google doesn't recommend this approach, but I feel it's still sound, as the text is there acting as an alt attribute for your background image, at least that's how I see it.
Good luck, hope this helps!
