adding a new class in a phpbb template?

Alright so...for some reason I'm not getting this. But basically I've learned that for everything in my style that I don't want to change, I have to change the class of it. (Like for instance, the same class is assigned to 5 things so you change the color and all of those 5 things change to that color). But I'm not quite getting how I create a NEW class. How do I name it? Where do I put it? I'm just lost on this. Can someone help me out please?

1. It depends how your site is set up. If you're using a linked .css file (cascading style sheet), you have to define the class and its attributes in that file. If you have one already and open it in a text editor, you can see the classes that are already there and how they're formatted. If there is no linked file, then the classes are defined right within your page's HTML code. You'll see a <style> tag where some attributes are defined. Just create a new class right there. I find this kind of thing easier to do in Dreamweaver, because it does all the re-coding for me, and I get confused easily ;)
