You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

If you are referring to a free hosted WordPress.com blog then you can’t. This is a multiuser blogging platform All blogs wearing the same theme use the same template so we cannot edit themes or templates at all. You cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch at WordPress.com but there are two free themes, Sandbox and Toolbox designed to allow maximum flexibility for CSS editing and creating new “skins”. Toolbox is more modern and includes a lot of support for CSS3 and HTML5, so it is really only limited by your skills and knowledge. You can purchase the With the annually renewable Custom Design upgrade > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
There is a try before you buy preview function > Appearance > Edit CSS
CSS is theme specific at WordPress.com. 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:

The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

The above translates to make friends at WordPress.ORG for the fourth time.

As you are asking about a self hosted WordPress.org install and this is the WordPress.com support forum and as the two run on different software we cannot help you. The themes support forum at WordPress.org is here > http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates
