  If I want to make a few minor changes to the original CSS do I have to type in the whole thing or can I cut and paste?

  You just put in the changes – the original CSS (which you can’t edit) is scanned then your changes are scanned last – last scanned rules.

  And what you want to do is to only put the specific selectors and the specific declarations that you are adding or changing, into the CSS edit window and make sure the “add to exisiting…” is selected. For example if this was the main wrap in your CSS,

  #wrap {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
  border: 1px solid #E4E4E4;
  border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
  clear: both;
  margin: 0 auto;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 15px 20px 0;
  width: 920px;
  }

  And all you wanted to do was change the color of the background, then this is what you would add to the CSS edit window and then change the hex color code.

  #wrap {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
  }
