  Did you select “start from scratch?” If you did, then the only CSS that will apply is what you have in your CSS edit window. It appears from looking at things that is the problem.

  Select “add to existing…” and click “save stylesheet and your CSS in the CSS edit window will then override the like selectors in the original stylesheet (yours is loaded after the original).

  Okay …did that but still can’t see the script for the twenty ten theme. I can view the original script but its un-editable. Just wanted to play around with different backgrounds. I tried setting up a sub-domain over on .org but the server won’t run the wordpress installation more than once in the same pulic_html.

  WordPress.COM is different. You do not edit the existing CSS. What you do (at least this is the best way) is to put only the specific selectors, and the specific declarations you are adding or changing into the CSS edit window and then your changes or additions override the existing stuff in the original CSS. This makes it much easier to keep track of what you have changed.

  Click the “view stylesheet” button and copy all the existing CSS out and paste it into a plain text file and save it to your desktop. Then you can copy and paste the bits you need out of that and into the CSS edit window.
