MT ActionStreams - stuck on Step 8

I have 4 events showing, (3 days old - not updating). And I don't believe I understood a think about the templates in step 8. and why did I have to manually edit the Main CSS - it wouldnt apply my edit to the view sheet?

Step 8 refers to adding the necessary CSS rules to display a list of events with all the pretty icons and what not.

Let me see if I can break down the instructions even further:

1. You should create a widget or template module using one of the sample template we provided.

2. You can add the widget, template module, or raw template code into your templates using one of the following methods:

3. <mt:Include module="YOUR MODULE NAME">

4. <mt:Include widget="YOUR MODULE NAME">
5. Or simply cut and paste the code into your template
6. You should add the Action Streams CSS to your website. This will use the <link rel="stylesheet" href=""> syntax used for referencing any stylesheet. This is an HTML thing, not an "MT thing."

Some users like to create an index template that outputs nothing but their actions. In that template you will see at the top the following variables:

<mt:setvar name="mt_author_display_name" value="Melody Nelson">
<mt:setvar name="mt_author_username" value="melody123">
<mt:setvar name="author_short_name" value="Melody">
<mt:setvar name="past_days" value="5">

Edit these according to your preferences.

Does this help?

Do I add them to existing templates - which one in my case? I want the actions in a blog type format (but still have MT entries).

people replace their MT index with that linked template?

I need some very small steps (click this, click that) - all this module business, add this, replace that is messing me up. I make a new module - then go to the index and add a include? - that how I'm supposed to do this?
