How to edit footer area instead of blog at wordpress.com …
-
New to CSS but would like to know how to edit after right clicking on Blog at WordPress.com and selecting “Inspect Elements” — I’d like to customize it to say Parker Living Magazine — however, since I’m new I’ve been dbl clicking right into html and changing it to Parker Living Magazine —- but I’m lost after this step — it does change on my preview screen –but again very new to CSS
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can’t change the existing footer text (that’s against the terms of service and would get your blog suspended) but you can add some static text to it pretty easily. Your blog is set to private at the moment, but if you let me know what theme you’re using I’ll give you some code to try out in the customizer so you can preview how it would look. CSS is theme dependent so what you’d need is different from theme to theme.

WordPress.com requires that the text in the footer credits are not modified, however, you may add on to them using plain text with a CSS rule.
To add text to the footer area in the Zuki theme, add the following to your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor:
.wp-credit:before { content: "Parker Living Magazine. "; } -
Thank you both. I just finished reading the terms on another forum. Thank you for the CSS code, and that I may “add to the existing.”
Question: “For other site modifications” how can I customize my CSS by inspecting element. I tried this but don’t understand how to save it as I see it in the preview? Yes, I have seen the demo for css how to change color but I’d like to do more edits. Thank you.

how can I customize my CSS by inspecting element
You can use your browser’s built in web inspector to experiment, but then you must copy the modified CSS into your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor in order to save it.
In case you haven’t seen it already, this help page is a good example of using the inspector: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/how-to-find-your-themes-css/
I have also recently started making short screencasts with specific examples for some replies. Here is a good example: https://cloudup.com/c8oXpJElEW5
Good questions! I hope you enjoy editing with CSS! :)

Thanks a bunch – will start schooling myself on the helpful links you provided, after I grab another cup of coffee. Coffee & CSS = a must!
