If I create my own template, would I have to include the css in the header or can I link to an external stylesheet?

@seberusnet Absolutely. MODX places basically no limits on how you build your templates. You can definitely link to an external stylesheet, just make sure the paths are correct when you port it to MODX. You will see what I mean in the next video in this series where I'll start porting over an actual HTML template to MODX Revo :)
