If you edit early steps much later in the website-making process, what all do need to do?

So, I added some new links to the navigation, but I have no clue how to make the css apply to this new list item. Basically, the question is this: How do I put new things under old css?

Hey Morgan your question is a bit unclear but I hope this will help. If you add a CSS style to a class of ".className", anything there on out with the class="className" will be affected with this new style.

Example 1: In other words, if you were to write the CSS:

body {
color: #FFF;
}

ALL of the text within your < body> tag will have a color of #FFF (white) in all places the CSS is loaded.

Example 2: If your css looks like this:

#blackDiv{
background-color: #000;
}

Anything with id="blackDiv" (old or new) will have a #000 (black) background

One of the reasons we use CSS is to easily add styles to multiple elements across a site/page. I hope this helps point you in the right direction.
