   I have a new theme that I have downloaded that I would like to change the colors on and make other small edits to the style sheets. 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.

   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?

   The plugin was helpful but in the end I wound up setting up a second wordpress blog on a subdomain of my site which allowed me to also play with certain settings from within the wordpress admin itself.

   Thank you for your help.
