Hello! I wanted to add This cursor from Cursors4u and cant seem to figure out what to put where??

First of all do I use the universal CSS/ HTML code or the CSS style sheet only code? Then after that where do exactly do I copy and paste the stuff into??
Sorry ive never coded before so i have no idea what im doing lolz.

Thanks!

You need the CSS style sheet one I believe (not 100% sure; it's been forever since I've used that site). As for getting it to work, you'll need to make a CSS file and host it. There's probably several guides on doing that on the forums, but here's a reply to a post I made not too long ago explaining how to do it too. In your case, ignore the part about the background image. Basically just paste the code they give you from Cursors4u into a text file instead and then follow the rest of the instructions on naming and hosting the file.

At the bottom your page, the CSS Files (maximum of 5) area is where the code will go once you figure out the right one to paste

Open your text editor on your computer (usually just Notepad for PC users; had to look it up, apparently the Mac version is TextEdit? I wouldn't know for sure, because I haven't touched Mac systems in 10+ years; there are also online versions of such things, just search "online text editor"). If on Windows, you should even just be able to right click on your desktop area and find "New" then "Text Document."

So you don't need to remove the asterisks from the code Cursors4u gives you, as they are just notes (so basically it isn't read as code; for example: /* this is a note in CSS code ^^ */). And yeah, you needed to change the name of the file before uploading to dropbox. Just give it a name (literally anything) and make sure it ends in .css when you save it (go to "save as" and name it for example "NAME.css").

If you're still struggling, I went ahead and made the file for you ^^
Just paste this into the section at the bottom of your den page where it says "CSS Files" (if you already have another den layout, you can hit the "+" button in that section to add another text box to add another file):
