 * I plan on using the AccessPress Lite theme in my new website. However, I know
   that I will want to make cosmetic changes (change menu color, etc.).
    Will these
   changes disappear when WordPress rolls out their next update/version? Will the
   changes disappear if AccessPress is updated?
 * Thank you!
 * (I’m new at this, I keep reading about the Parent and Child relationships – not
   sure if that’s what I have to address.)

 * My site is [http://www.ofcia.org](http://www.ofcia.org)
 * Well, now I’m nervous. What do you mean by Custom CSS or child theme? I’m VERY
   new at WordPress.
 * I created a WordPress site using the RESPONSIVE THEME. I’ve made many cosmetic
   changes (font colors, border colors, etc) by going under the Dashboard, then 
   Appearance, then Editor. “Responsive: Stylesheet “
    Is this wrong? Are you saying
   that the next time the Responsive theme updates that I will lose all these changes?
   Or am I editing the Custom CSS?
 * I did cut and paste the CSS code from within the editor and copy it to notepad.
   If the theme did update, would I be able to just cut and paste from the notepad
   back into the editor?
 * SOrry for sounding so elementary – but I really am at this point. Lots to learn.
   If there’ a link you cold point me to that would explain “child theme” – I would
   appreciate it!
 * Learning as I go,
    THANK YOU MUCH!

 * By the way, this is some of the CSS code….. I see the webkit and moz prefixes…
   is that why the site can only be viewed correctly in only Chrome and Safari browsers?

 * Won’t I lose all my settings and my widget contents?
 * NOTE: I can view the website perfectly in Safari or Google Chrome.
    When I view
   the website in Internet Explorer or Firefox, the formatting is gone. Does that
   help? Does it have something to do with rendering engines? Any help would be 
   great!!
 * Desperate. 🙂

 * sorry… link is [http://www.ofcia.org](http://www.ofcia.org)
 * I don’t think I have too many plug ins:
    1.Black Studio TinyMCE Widget 2.Custom
   sidebars 3.Easing Slider “Lite” 4.Contact Form 7 5.NextGEN Gallery
 * I will add the super cache and wp minify to see if that helps.
 * My images are “crunched” when I upload them to the media section of wordpress.
   Do I need to compress them further? (Sorry – I really am a newbie.)
 * Thanks for advice. 🙂
