    Blank white screens usually means PHP errors and blamo no output. Editing the style.css should not have caused that, but some style sheets are done in PHP.

    Which theme? You should just upload (…after backing up your files…) a fresh copy of that theme into wp-content/themes and that should take care of it.

    that would be great if i could get back to the style sheet. no matter where i go i can’t get to it. is there a back door way to the style sheet/ editing? i started with a wordpress theme that i imported from a wordpress.com site that i already was working with (black letter head) and was dismantling it. i am an absolute neophyte to the world of css so i know i screwed something up.
    the site is http://www.soulpaintings.ca
    thanks for your reply and any help you can provide!

    This can happen if you’ve changed the first few lines in the CSS of the theme. If you changed the name of the theme for example, WordPress can’t find it anymore (as it’s now classed as a different theme). Try activating another theme, then go back to yours.

    You can still edit the CSS by downlaoding your amended theme to your local machine, and then editing the style.css file, even if you can reach it anymore from within WordPress.

    that would be ok but i can’t get to anywhere within wordpress! can i upload using FTP directly to my domain? or do i need to know more info?
