1. Test your FTP access and file permissions using the FTP details provided with your test site details. Please note the FTP user name will be your website address and not your Business Control Panel user name
2. Ensure you have 'passive mode' set in your FTP client and log in.
3. Create a small file using Notepad called test1.txt
4. Upload it and verify it appears in your client's directory listing
5. Verify that the file is visible at http://YOUR-TEST-SITE/static/test1.txt
6. Note that files in the FTP area on a site are visible on the URL /static/ on that site
7. Delete the file via your FTP client - you are now ready to start changing the default CSS
8. View the source of http://YOUR-TEST-SITE/ and note the default stylesheet included in the header
9. Download copies of the default2.css and default3.css example CSS files
10. Rename one of them to something you will recognise
11. Upload this by FTP and verify it appears on the /static/xxxxxx URL as described above
12. Now please log in to http://YOUR-TEST-SITE/admin with the username provided - this user will have access to 'The Business Control Panel'
13. Go to website/cssfiles screen
14. This list of dependencies is how you add CSS and Javascript files to the document header. Click 'add new' to add a new dependency - note the different types you can add, and the ability to easily enable and disable them.
15. Fill in the 'filename' box with the name of your uploaded file (eg. default2.css ), then choose either of the CSS types under 'Type', and click Save
16. View the source of http://YOUR-TEST-SITE/ again to verify that your newly uploaded stylesheet is included in the header, in place of the default.
17. Make a small change or two to your CSS file and upload it again
18. Verify that your updated file appears after doing a full refresh (CTRL+F5)

You are now ready to start creating your own CSS file
