  How do I edit CSS without buying the upgrade…According to the help file ref. below, that is an option.

  Add Custom CSS

  “If you have not purchased the Custom Design upgrade, you are still able to edit your CSS code; however, you may only preview the changes. The ‘Save Stylesheet’ option is only available to users who have purchased the upgrade.”

  ——
  I have a real simple edit at the moment… I want to add/replace css style to the following:

  .sidebar-widget p.wp-caption-text {
  font-size:11px;
  line-height:140%;
  margin:0;
  padding-bottom:0; +
  }

  ————–

  Not sure I understand where the css file is located (or any of the code for that matter.) I’m used to hosting my own site. This is new to me.

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

  First off, this is the important part of that CSS support document:

  …you are still able to edit your CSS code; however, you may only preview the changes. The ‘Save Stylesheet’ option is only available to users who have purchased the upgrade.

  You can edit all day long, but it will never show up on your site unless you pay for the Custom Design Upgrade.

  At wordpress.com, you add the changes or additions to the CSS edit window and then they will override the original stylesheet. You do not edit the original stylesheet. You can enter and preview CSS changes at appearance > custom design.

  You can edit it, but you can’t Save the changes. It’s just to preview the changes you might want to make.

  You can use a text widget instead of an image widget and style the content anyway you like using HTML and inline CSS.
