You can simply mark the page off where you want to start your styles and work within the main.css file.
If you wish to add a second CSS file, just remember that whichever file comes last when listed in the .html file will over ride what is before that. So if you were to add in a secondary.css file under main.css it would take precedence.

Courses Plus Student 8,944 PointsYou can do it on a separate css file or on the main file however you feel confortable, But I believe its best practice to have only one CSS file because its less load time and http request that the browser will make. So I would recommend to start it on the main.css .

6,160 Pointsi mean comment out the <link rel> css file statement in my html and instead link with my own styling?

20,629 Pointsyes you can do it that way as well. I did that in my portfolio site. I have a main.css and then the minified version which is what I uploaded.
