Uh… How does this CSS work?
-
So, its been a few years since I’ve done any website building, and I totally forgot everything I know (whoops). Anyways, when trying to create a blog, I noticed you could try out using CSS before you bought the upgrade. But, the page is empty? Doesn’t usually the CSS usually appear for everything on the site? I dunno, like I said… its been a while.
The main thing I wanted to know is how you would go about switching the placement of the back/forward buttons, and adding a first/last button as well.

You should use your browser web inspector to view the CSS. Tools like that are built directly in to web browsers these days. To see the CSS, right click on any element and select the “Inspect Element” option to see the HTML for the element you clicked on and all of the CSS that applies to it.
If you’d like to view CSS stylesheets directly, view the page source in your browser (or use browser tools) and look in the <head> section to find links to all of the CSS used for any given page.
The WordPress.com CSS Editor is designed for you to add CSS to make minor changes based on what you find in the browser tools, it does not give you the CSS to edit over the top of directly, and we don’t recommend copying all the CSS at once unless you are an advanced CSS designer.

I don’t do CSS – But
You only put in the changes – your blog scans your changes last and last scanned rules – you can’t edit the code since all blogs with the same theme share the same CSS files
Install something like Firebug in your browser so you can see what is controlling what –
There should be some CSS stuff in the support documents: http://support.wordpress.com/
