    View other people’s style sheets and php files? because I’m wondering how people on here ask for a link, take a look at their code and say what’s wrong, etc.

    I’m asking because I want to look at codes on another blog to see how they edited a template?

    looking at somebody’s (wordpress) site you can see the stylesheets by using a free tool such as firefox’s web developer add-on or firebug (there are other tools for other browsers as well);

    you will not be able to see the php source code, as the php code gets rendered on the browser before being send down to the browser, where you can ‘only’ see the html code.

    however, having seen the php code of many wordpress themes and templates, it is sometimes possible to didact from the html code, which wordpress functions had beed used in the php file.

    looking at the code in the browser, if you are ‘lucky’, you might get the information which theme was used in the site, and/or the information which plugins are involved.
    plugins sometimes can be identified by the css classes they output.
