hi moto.... slow down mate.. it will all work in the end ;) lets do it one step at a time.

you created your bvstyle.css file correctly and yes uploading it to the same location as your index page was the right thing to do however....

it wont work without any actual CSS commands in it.

also.. i have noticed from working with other people that all external CSS commands will be overwritten during the publishing procedure with BV. the pages which have external CSS commands (from your bvstyle.css file) need to be uploaded using file manager rather than published in the normal way.

The LINKREL code that you copied is correct... about your post (quote below)....

"Does this error message apply to this CSS file? My links now look different on my home page since I copied the CSS text in Tutorial 1. So I know that it is working. Any help is appreciated!"

BV uses a lot of integrated CSS (CSS code on each page) in order to make the design of pages very easy. The error you are getting is because the CSS exists on each and every page rather than on the style sheet (bvstyle.css). unfortunately (to the best of my knowledge) there is no way around this because of the way BV works in order to create your pages.

With your other questions....

No, BV will not apply styles or coding to the bvstyle.css document... you must add those manually but as time goes by you will see from the tutorials how this is done.
