# Positioning the Fields

 * I have taken over the maintenance of a website I did not build. The owner wants
   me to add some custom fields to the ad space on the home page. I’ve figured out
   how to add the custom field, and how to place it into the template, but I have
   NO idea how to style it (position it, etc). He also wants me to change the appearance
   of an element that is already there.
 * Is there a tutorial or something that can help me find out where to define these
   things? I cannot figure this out for the life of me.

 * You can style through CSS in your template. The custom field is just returning
   text, or a URL or simple HTML
 * example
 *     ```
       <div class="style1">
       <?php the_field('yourfieldname'); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Css:
 *     ```
       .style1 {
       font-family: 'Courier';
       	overflow-x: hidden;
       	background-color:#141414;
       	background-image: url('bg.png');
       	background-repeat: repeat-x;
       	background-position: center top;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks, Dani. It was way simpler than I thought!
