Finding to Edit HTML and CSS

    I’m trying to edit the appearance of my page (mostly css, but some html). I both have WordPress downloaded to my computer and a wordpress.com site I’ve been working with as well, trying to find the one that’s best to use.
    I’m working with the theme “Responsive” by ThemeID, if that makes a difference.
    I cannot find the files for the theme on the one I have downloaded to my computer. When I go into the theme’s folder, I only have the one’s downloaded with the WordPress pack itself. Responsive is not there, as well as any of the the other theme’s I’ve installed (to see which one works best for my needs).
    When I go to look how to edit on the site that is live on WordPress, it looks like I have to pay for pro to enable that ability. If that’s the only way to do it, I can’t change that, but I’d much rather find where in the world the files on my computer are hiding.
    Thank you for the help!

    do you have a local install of WordPress on your computer?

    also, be aware that WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two totally independant and different things; http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Thank you so much for explaining the difference between .com and .org! That’s something I’ve been trying to find out, but hadn’t really realized (until earlier today) they were different. WordPress.<b>org<b/> is the one I want to use, then as I need full control of the site, and already have a place for it to be hosted.
    I have a local install of WordPress, which is why I’m confused at being unable to find the files. I used XAMPP, and it’s installed within XAMPP, namely the htdocs. I originally had it set up to work with Dreamweaver, which was a pain in my butt trying to edit things together as certain needed features in Dreamweaver are extremely temperamental on my computer.
    Should I try re-doing the install, without linking it with Dreamweaver? Any way that would make a difference?
