Delicacy original CSS is very different from the one you get…
-
I chose the theme delicacy. When I preview the advanced (replace) themes CSS it is very different from the unedited version i get.
The flag at the top is thinner. The entire width of the blog is narrower and the cute little grey scalloped thing below the flag menu bar is gone.
Also the separating the widget area from the post area is gone…How can this be when I haven’t edited any CSS yet???
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Did you paste the entire CSS into the CSS edit window? If so, that is the problem. The CSS uses what is called a relative URL (relative to the location of the CSS file) and your custom CSS is stored in a different location so that means the relative URLs in the original CSS break.
At WordPress.com, what you want to do is to put only the specific selectors, and only the specific declarations you are adding or changing into the CSS edit window.

The same exact CSS won’t necessarily work the same way if it’s copy and pasted into a new location. The advanced (replace) themes CSS option was intended to be used when you want to wipe the theme CSS out completely and write your own from scratch. If you’re not doing that, you shouldn’t use the advanced option unless you know how to rewrite CSS for a new location.
