That only applies to WordPress.COM hosted sites. Your site is self-hosted so you can do whatever you want to the code of the theme or site.
Oh snap!!! Even better. Thanks Yogi. I’ll be back for more questions for sure.
One more thing. I dont have the “custom design” option in the “appearance” tab on my theme. How do I get that so that I can create a baby/child theme?
Custom design only applies to WP.COM as well. A child theme is more involved – see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
But if you only want to make CSS changes, you can add a custom CSS via a plugin such as Custom CSS Manager – then you can put your CSS changes there and they won’t be lost when the theme is updated.
Wow. I need to enroll in a wordpress school. I know nothing about what’s going on. Thank you very much Yogi.
