 * I am trying to change style.css of my WP theme but it seems that I cannot make
   changes; in fact when I go to EDITOR in my admin page and I modify CSS style,
   the changes are not updated. What is wrong? Any help or suggestions, please?

 * I would recommend using a child theme rather than directly editing twentyeleven.
   It’s pretty easy and straightforward to set up. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * All you have to do is make a folder and a style.css file.
 * To clarify, a child theme uses all of the elements from the parent theme and 
   overrides them with the ones of your choosing.
 * Also, twentyeleven is just a good theme to have around **unedited** for troubleshooting
   purposes.

 * Is enough to change file permission on my directory?
 * Thank you for your help, Michael

 * You can, but again, it would be better to just make a quick child theme. It’s
   almost no work and keeps twenty eleven in tact.

 * Your tip was great! I am reading the codex doc that you have suggested. Thank
   you so much Michael, God bless you!
