    I just stated using wordpress and I must say that I am frustrated. I used a theme to create my blog. I created a page and I spent a lot of time editing it – adding css and tags to the text field tab and updated my blog, then viewed the page, it showed the edits. But after i returned to do more edits all my work was gone. I am confused and frustrated. Does wordpress allow for editing tags and css in a page? If so, how can i make the changes permanent . Also there doesn’t seem to be an undo if you make changes to a page. Is there and undo?

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

    Hi Tarritem,

    Have you purchased the custom design upgrade? You will only be able to edit CSS with this upgrade.

    Thanks quakerrattled for responding to my question and so quickly. I thought I would be waiting several days to get an answer. Thank you. I did not know that you couldn’t edit css unless you purchased custom design. There is a place in the pages that you can look at and change the source code, so I just assumed that you could edit it.

    As quakerattled shared above WordPress.com sells custom design upgrades. They allow us to “preview” change that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.

    If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

    You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
    Appearance > Header
    Appearance > Background
    Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
    Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
    Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

    If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

    To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.
