  this is code I have for Post-header:

  .p-head h2 {
  font:normal 36px “Times New Roman”, serif; }

  .p-head h2 a,.post .p-head h2 a:visited {
  color:#009193;
  text-decoration:none; }

  but it’s not what shows when you look @ blog..

  I can’t load the CSS because in browser by loading url for css… when I go to
  http://s3.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/blix/style.css
  it only shows a couple of lines of code (the rest is in imported css.. I can’t see it.. b/c this url
  http://s3.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/blix/style.css?m=1245873790b
  shows the same as url w/o the param after ‘?’

  I just want to see what CSS code it’s loading.. because my changes are not taking (could it be showing wrong css code in that edit css window?)

  thank you..

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

  Because the CSS is imported is a bit more difficult to edit. What tool did you use to find the ‘p-head’? I cannot see it anywhere using Firebug.

  I’m seeing a couple different CSS files using Firebug. And in the http://flippintestblog.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/blix/style.css these last two commands in style.css

  @import "layout.css?20090324";
  @import "spring_flavour.css?20090213";

  basically “include” the two stylesheets below.

  Everything you need should be in those last two stylesheets and my suggestion is to select “add to existing…” and then only add the specific sections you are changing, and the specific declarations in those section because of the way Blix does the CSS stuff.

  These are the two CSS files that are imported into Blix:

  http://s3.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/blix/spring_flavour.css?20090213

  well, the CSS code is code that came with the theme… I just changed (or tried, rather, to change) what I mentioned above…

  import statements and everything else came is how it came, with the theme..

  thank you….

  Blix is a little different since it actually has three different CSS files. layout.CSS is the main CSS file that controls virtually everything. spring_flavor.css is the color scheme information (in the case of the theme here, that amounts to the title color which can be selected under appearance > custom header.

  oh brother… yes, I was also wondering, WHY isn’t there only ONE stylesheet per theme?? that would make a bit more sense, no???

  so: how is it decided WHAT CSS code shows in edit-CSS window?? it seems to me once you pay to edit CSS you should have access to ALL CSS code…

  and what do I have to do edit CSS code for this theme???

  thank you..

  If themes come with color schemes, such as with the original version of blix, then it makes more sense to have the color schemes as separate CSS files and then have the core basics in another CSS file. It makes it far easier really in the long run, and once you get some CSS knowledge under your belt, then it will become obvious to your why. If you are changing the core layout, you go to the main CSS, but if you are editing the color scheme, then you go to the CSS file for the color scheme.

  Lately the way people are designing themes with multiple color/layout options is to include CSS for each of the options. It makes it much easier when designing the theme originally, and also when modifying it later one.
