Is there a way to edit and view my changes without the theme being the active theme? The only way that I know of looking at a theme is via the Wordpress admin.</p> <p>I would like to preview my edits somehow without the whole world seeing the changes as I am making them, which is what would happen if I made the theme active and then edited it. Is there a sandbox type of way of seeing my edits to a theme without having to setup a completely different Wordpress blog for the sole purpose of experimenting with the CSS? </p>
