Can’t Preview CSS edits

    Newbie question, sorry. I’ve learned a bit of CSS. I want to modify my theme’s style sheet, and have been making little changes and trying to preview them. (I haven’t paid for the CSS upgrade yet.) Only problem is when the preview window opens, the blog’s appearance is unchanged. Is there a trick to this I’m missing? It doesn’t matter what I do in the editing window, or which option I check (“start from scratch” or “add”). I’ve altered font sizes, erased .gifs, even erased half the style sheet in frustration. The result is always the same when I click on “Preview”: the blog with the original theme appears intact, as if I hadn’t done a thing to the style sheet. I assume I’m missing something obvious here, and that I’ll still have the same problem if I pay for the upgrade. Can anyone help? Many thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    There is no trick and you have done what I do with CSS – make a major change that cannot be missed.

    Standard reply will be to clear the browser cache.

    What I would is choose a different theme, don’t look at it and go to the Edit CSS page. Try things there and Preview. That would avoid a cached copy.

    You are doing everything right though from what you say.,

    Thanks, Mark. That helps. I’ve got it working now.
