I’ve upgraded to be able to edit my CSS, but don’t see where I can view or edit the original style sheet. Where may I find this?

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

On wordpress.com you don’t literally edit the original stylesheet, you make changes by adding your custom CSS in the CSS editor. See this post of mine for more:

Where is the theme CSS and how do I edit it?

Thanks justpi, your post is great!

However, I need to see the original style sheet – is there a way to view this?

CSS is spread over a number of CSS files and not all in one place, but here is the link to the main CSS file for your theme.

What we recommend is using the web inspector tool in your browser to identify and find the CSS for the changes you wish to make. We have a set of brief screencasts on How to Find Your Theme’s CSS using the web inspector tools that you may find helpful. I’ve been using one for years and after you get familiar with it, it saves considerable time when making CSS changes.

@deliberatewealth: You’re welcome.
But my post already included the answer to your question. Quoting:

You can also view it here (click name of theme then click “style.css”):
