Hello, I'm hoping someone smart can spare some time and help me out. I'm trying to launch this "Viral Landing Page" App. 

https://github.com/harrystech/prelaunchr

I was hoping someone could explain a couple things to me about this simple app, such as:

Where do I change the CSS file? 

Besides what's obvious in the readme, is there anything else I should be aware of to make this work, or to customize, besides deployment?

Will deployment be difficult for me, someone who only knows Python, HTML, and CSS?

How do I attach this app to my existing site, with a custom URL? Example: How do I make the app be at 

landingpage.example.com 
if my page is 
example.com

Please let me know if you can help me out. Thanks in advance!

I would recommend looking at the forks of this inactive "project"
and picking one using a current version of Rails.

Look in the directory called 'app/assets/stylesheets'.

Who can say? Try locally, try deploying it on your server[*] and come
back if you have specific problems.

[*] it might be easier deploying to heroku than your own server. FWIW.

Good luck.

Thanks for the help guys :-)

Especially thanks for the advice about the fork. I was wondering about the version difference.
