  • I like to read my CSS file in Beyond Compare, a software where you can compare exactly which changes you’ve made with the original CSS and your modified CSS from the Editor screen.
    You can download a trial online if you have an immediate project and purchase later if you find it useful and have have other projects to work on.

    As far as grabbing a readable copy of your stylesheet goes you can just go to “View” in your browser and travel to “Page Source” and then select the link containing your website’s theme name ending in .CSS to grab your Stylesheet or you read it using Firefox’s add-on Firebug. You could also open it using your FTP client to download it to your machine and open it in Notepad.

    Thanks. I got the copy but it’s not formatted, everything is crunched together in one long paragraph. I’m viewing it in notepad. Would putting it in Beyond Compare or another tool fix this issue?

    Use firefox and install a free addon firebug

    Firebug for Firefox.

    Do you have a link to your website?
