  So I “upgraded” to get a custom font, and BLAMO! Entire site crapped out. I’ve been trying to fix, and am now in a huge CSS whole.

  I want to start over with a new theme, but nothing is working right. When I “preview” new themes, they look great. When I load them… crap out.

  Very frustration. Where is the “start over ” button. Nothing seems to be working, including copy/paste origional theme CSS.

  CSS is theme specific. If you have custom CSS and later change themes, you need to delete whatever CSS you have in the Editor, otherwise, you’ll get undesired results.

  To ‘reset’ a theme, you need to delete the CSS in the Editor, make sure the “add to existing CSS” radio button is checked, then save. Things should go back to normal.

  When you alter a theme’s stylesheet, you only need to put in the Editor the modification/additions to the CSS, not the entire thing. Read this for more info:

  I checked your blog and it looks great. :) The Piano Black theme is a good choice. I really like that theme the more I see it.
