 * I am using the basic Twenty Eleven theme. Under Appearance, there is a menu option“
   Edit CSS”. When I click on this and add CSS styles and click “Save Stylesheet”
   the CSS file does not appear anywhere on my pages. Is there something else I 
   need to activate? If not, then I will be forced to edit the theme css itself 
   since there appears to be a bug.

 * I think that’s Jetpack’s functionality.
    It doesn’t actually save to a _stylesheet_,
   it puts CSS in the `<head>` section of each page.

 * If you want a separate custom CSS stylesheet, you could use a Child Theme – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
