Hi there, this issue has been fixed. Can you try saving something in CSS again? Let us know how it goes.

thanks for fixing the issue. meanwhile added some css to my latest post
`#post-3377 h1 {
visibility: hidden;
}’just to test how to make the last letter of a post title change color (I succeeded in doing this, but only in the page that displays the post, and I had to add the above code to remove double post titles)….
and then I saved the code, and all my CSS code disappeared. so I logged out, and back in again, and the CSS code reappeared. So I would guess that the CSS editor has become a little unstable, perhaps with all the recent changes to the interface.
I know you are not supposed to mix support queries, but it would be nice to if the HTML with inline CSS that I added to post-3377 replace the title, not just on the content page of the post, but on the home page too. any idea how to do this would be most welcome!
meanwhile, yes the css editor IMHO is deffo unstable.

perhaps to clarify the above i should also mentioned that I added the following html to my post
<div class="entry-title">Requiem for a featherweight<span style="color: red;">?</span></div>so the idea is that i want this new title to replace the non styled content in the home page title, but without having double titles, thus the visibility hidden css, which is a bandaid solution
i am going to see if i can change the HP title cotent via css, instead of replacing it in the post, as above -
now that I think about it, no i can add content via css but cant style it as i did above using simple markup
anyway back to the main topic, css editor is unstable still so i would test it further, as my css disappeared completely earlier today

You can’t change a post or page title, or the site title with HTML. It has to be done via CSS. You can use HTML within a post (with style attributes) to change individual bits of text within that post or page content.
Anytime you use a post-specific CSS selector such as #post-3377, you are telling the browser to make that change ONLY for that specific post (in this case the post with the ID of 3377).
If you can explain exactly what you want to do, we can help you accomplish that.

hmm sorry to contradict so rudely, but actually you can. i did it the post in question.
here is the markup
<div class="entry-title" style="letter-spacing:2px;">Requiem for a featherweight<span style="color:red;">?</span></div>so not only am I changing the title, as you can see, but also changing the color of the last character in the string — which you normally cannot do in regular WP
then I just apply the CSS you see above to hide the default title (otherwise you see two titles)
however this of course also changes the title as it appears on the HP
so what I need is a selector that can be applied to the “HP title only” (such as hiding it or doing whatever I please in term of styling) but is not carried over to the actual post — in even plainer English, I want to style the title two separate way when a) it appears on the hp and b) when in appear in a post page
+ i am aware of the effect of the post specific selector, which is precisely why I use it
since WP.com does not offer scoping, everything is global — so to avoid side effects, I often use the post ID to scope the CSS to that post. this is deliberate, not accidental.
i think i am getting to the point where i probably want to write my own theme that takes full advantage of CSS3 and HTML5 — moreover the recent instability of the CSS editor in WP.com is not something I would have expected from code that was already working in production — and increasingly the limitations imposed by not being able use Canvas and many other semantic features of modern CSS and HTML is proving to be a hindrance
however many many thx for looking into this!
