  Hello,

  I just downloaded the web developer tool for Firefox. Now what, copy the css style sheet and create a new style sheet in Dreamweaver with some minor modifications like font color etc. My question is: How do I upload the new style sheet to my blog? I see a button for “start from scratch use this style sheet” and one that says “Add this to the MistyLook theme’s CSS stylesheet (view original stylesheet)” but how do I actually add the new style sheet or the modified style sheet. I don’t see any way to attach it and can’t figure out how to do it with the web developers tools. Any help would be appreciated. I know it’s something simple that I’m missing…hopefully.

  Thanks,
  D

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

  CSS here is limited and you can’t “upload” a theme, you can only modify a pre-existing theme here or start from scratch using the sandbox theme, which is also limited in what you can do.
  When you make your changes to a pre-existing theme, just take what you’ve did in the web developer tool and paste it into the CSS editor on the dashboard.
  To use the web developer tool, and see the changes made in real time then goto the web developer toolbar, click on CSS, and then edit CSS and make your changes there. This will require some CSS knowledge and so it’s best that you use the preview function on the CSS editor before you purchase the CSS upgrade.

  btw, what I typed only applies if you have a wordpress.COM blog.
