I found this template that looks great, but couldn't find the correct text to edit . I'm on a Mac and when I hit ctrl F i don't get a search box.
On the Mac it is Cmd-F. They just have you pasting into before </head>, that's always in the same place. The minumum HTML document looks like:

Style statements can go anywhere between <html> and <head>

I tried to manually search , delete blocks of text etc, but the best i could get was to have a blank page. I guess i just have information overload.
When you delete block of text, don't delete anything quoted above, and insure the opening and closing tags are balanced. Keep W3schools open in a tab for reference.

If you want to be up to date, the new thing is Flexbox.

Although the syntax might be initially confounding, flexbox lives up to its name. It creates intelligent boxes that are stretchable, squeezable and capable of changing visual order. It provides simple solutions to layout paradigms that CSS has always struggled with: vertical centering and equal heights.
