 * Could you please tell me if the Stylesheet is searchable?
 * I would like to edit the Tagline. Right now it appears that the Tagline is not
   located in the header. It seems to be in the left sidebar.
 * Either way, I can’t locate the relevant code in the Stylesheet.
 * Thanks

 * That’s not the right way to add styles, you ought to use a [Custom CSS plugi](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)

 * I don’t understand your response. The system is specifically set up to allow 
   editing of the theme – both css and php. Why do you seem to say it’s wrong to
   edit the theme? Thanks.
 * UPDATE: Now I think I understand. I need to have a child theme, That is what 
   I will do. Now I still need to locate the css code from above. Thanks.

 * Just note that any modifications made to theme files will be erased when the 
   theme updates.

 * Yes, I know that now. I wonder if the best solution is to use a custom css plugin
   as you suggested. A child theme will not pick up any future theme improvements,

 * I’m not sure what you mean by a Child Theme not picking up future theme improvements;
   the purpose of it is to inherit changes from the parent theme.
