HOW TO TRANSFER TEMPLATE CODE TO CSS WINDOW
-
Hi,
I customized my site through the templates available on WordPress (the columnist). After upgrading in order to be able to modify the design and personalize the site, I am brought to a new page where I can change the CSS code. Unfortunately the original CSS code does not appear on the right hand display window. I am only given a welcome text. I would like to keep the original design from the template and its CSS code to modify a few details within it (such as centering and such…).
I have the following questions:
if I copy paste the source code from the safari menu, copy paste it on the display CSS window, will I keep the design originally generated by the template without loosing any information?
if not, how can I keep the original generated design and have it transfered as CSS code into that window?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Nope, you should not do that unless you are advanced at CSS.

You should only add updates to the CSS editor in the Appearance → Themes → Customize → CSS panel unless you want to delete all of the theme’s original CSS to completely start from scratch with a blank slate.
To see the current CSS, just use the browser tools built in to your web browser. In Safari, go to Preferences → Advanced and check the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” to turn on the developer tools. Then load your website, right-click on any item, and select the “Inspect Element” option. that will pull up a view of the HTML for what you clicked on as well as all the CSS that applies to that element on the right. Once you find the selectors in the CSS that match what you want to change, you can write new CSS rules (or copy individual blocks from the web inspector) and put them in your WordPress.com CSS editor to make changes to your blog’s appearance.
