    Hello everyone

    I’m a complete newbie and trying to learn how to customize my site (www.nicheitsales.com) Just about got an idea how to use firebug to look up codes and see where I’d need to place the adjustment, however when I go to editor and find style.Scc it looks completely different from what it supposed to. Am I going mad? Pasting it below. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

    Am I going mad?

    No. 🙂 Firebug only display CSS rules and properties – not any comments in the stylesheet. All of the above is part of a comment block.

    Thank you Esmi, not mad at least 🙂 . So, could you tell me please where do I go from here, as in find the actual working CSS script of my pages , which I can adjust and save as I can’t do it with firebug . I d searched here but all the replies seem to lead me to CSS style sheet ?

    Ideally, you would need to create a child theme for your CSS customisations. Once you have located the relevant rules in the parent’s stylesheet, you can them over-write them via the appropriate custom CSS in your child theme.

    Or you could look at using a custom CSS plugin.

    Hi, Esme

    Thank you. You are right, when I look at the child website option, the style css has code to be edited. But I’m trying to avoid using child theme , as it seems that the blank base would give me more flexibility (if I could only get hang of using it)and besides , I’d already started on it, anyway. What I can’t understand, though, if firebug can read a code from the website I’m building (www.nicheitsales.com) , then where is it hiding for me to be able to adjust it, since it’s not in CSS style sheet? Could it be as simple as copying and pasting the entire code as read by firebug into the CSS. Style sheet which is now blank, and then adjusting?
