If you are using the Classic Appearance Editor, and want to add a retired theme to your network, you can grab the CSS\u00a0code for it here\u00a0and copy and paste it into the Advanced section of your network’s Appearance page. These themes run on old CSS that is no longer supported, and\u00a0do not work as is in the Design Studio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re interested in learning more about CSS to customize your\u00a0Ning Network, we recommend checking out\u00a0W3C’s CSS section<\/a> for great tutorials and downloading\u00a0Firebug<\/a> for experimenting. If you’re new to CSS, you might want to play around with it on your test network you’ve created for testing purposes. This way you don’t have to worry about making mistakes on your live network.<\/p>\n

Simply click on a theme below and copy all of the CSS code that is displayed on the next page. Then visit your Appearance page (or, if you are a member,\u00a0go to your My Page and click on the “Manage My Page” link underneath your\u00a0Profile Photo)\u00a0and click on the Advanced tab. Paste everything in to the space that opens below.<\/p>\n

Please be aware that this will overwrite any code that already exists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you know what code you’d like to retain on your network, either don’t erase it, or copy it elsewhere to re-insert later. Save\u00a0your changes and you’ll be all set!<\/p>\n

Please read these advisory notes before using the retired\u00a0themes:<\/p>\n
