This tutorial teaches you on how to link an external CSS file in an xHTML file. By creating and linking an external CSS file, it allows you to keep all your CSS code separately out in a different file. This eliminates the clutter in your HTML file. This also keeps your content separately from design. An external CSS file will have .css as extension.
To link an external CSS file, all you have to do is just refer that file in your HTML / xHTML file, so that the HTML file fetches the CSS code and builds the elements on the page.
To refer an external CSS file, you have to place a code within </head> tag.
If your style.css file resides is in the same path as that of your HTML file, then use this code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="screen" />

Ubuntu lets you install KDE as an additional desktop environment eliminating the need of installing Kubuntu seperately. It is very easy to install and switch to KDE environment. This tutorial lets you know how.
There are two ways to install KDE on your ubuntu. The first is the GUI method and the other is CLI method using Terminal. I recommend you to go for the second method.
Installing KDE by GUI method:
- Go to System -> Adminstration -> Synaptic Package Manager.
- Search for “kubuntu-desktop” and from the results, mark it for the installation.
- Read point 6. 7, 8 & 9 in CLI method.
If you do not get the kubuntu-desktop package in the result, try clicking on “Reload” button to download the latest package list to Sypatic. Still if it doesn’t work, go for CLI method.
Installing KDE by CLI method:
- Open Terminal.
- Type in:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
- Confirm by pressing “y” to start the download.
- This will now start downloading the required packages. Wait till it downloads completely.
- After downloading the required packages, it will start installing the downloaded files.
- During installation you will be prompted to select the default desktop manager you want to start automatically whenever you login to ubuntu. You can choose “gdm” for GNOME or “kdm” for KDE as default.
- After selecting the desktop manager of your choice, the installation will continue and will complete soon.
- Now you can logout and login to your account. If you have selected “kdm” as default desktop manager during installation, you will be directly taken to KDE. If not change the session to “KDE” before logging in from “Options” menu in login screen.
- That’s all! Start using KDE.

Google has introduced new feature in Gmail which lets you to mail in 5 major Indian Languages. Currently you can mail in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
Gmail automatically enables this feature if you are an Indian. If this isn’t enabled by default for you, you can go to “Settings” and enable this at the “Languages” section to get started. Once enabled you get a small language icon in the toolbar of Compose page.
Clicking on that icon will show the list of 5 languages. You can choose the language of yours and start typing. To type in your own language, you have to type the same thing in English first. For example, if it is Kannada, I type “namaskara” in English and it will automatically covert it to
in Kannada
Sadly, this feature can only be used by Firefox and Internet Explorer users at the moment.
