Can't find original stylesheet

    To anyone out there,

    I keep a blog for my university – I’ve purchased the upgrade in order to change the CSS on the Bold Life design, and I had the original style sheet for CSS at first, which allowed me to tweak a few things. Now, however, when I go to the “edit CSS” page, I can’t find a link to the original sheet anymore. Am I missing something? Am I having a blonde moment – has it moved or disappeared? I’m no CSS expert, and I really needed the original sheet as a reference – I’m lost without it! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,

    Kait

    Often, using the the browser tools is better, but you can also still access the theme’s original CSS by looking at the page source and finding the CSS reference in the header. Last, there is one final option which is to click “Edit” next to “Mode: Add-on” in the Publish box on your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page. Note that you should not copy and paste the entire stylesheet from there into your editor—we’re trying to prevent people from doing that as it’s prone to breaking things if you’re not sure what you’re doing. It’s fantastic for debugging and a really great tool.

    Next, as with any web page, you can view the page source, look in the head section, and find links to any CSS stylesheets used by the page you’re on.
