Because WordPress is hosting it for you, they keep many things including being able to edit the CSS under lock and key.

You will have to pay them to unlock it or you may consider hosting your own site at WordPress. For this reason I usually do not recommend WordPress. Somewhat true, Technokrats. I recently purchased the Genesis framework with the Lifestyle Pro child theme. Thank you. Hi Marylou, yes that is the place where you can make edits. I just found your blog today and have downloaded the free ebook and also purchased the other helpful resource and printed it out so I can read it at my pleasure. I know enough about changing things to do a not too bad job.

I wanted to ask you — backgrounds — is the trend at the present time toward patterned or solid colors? And — love your website and all the info found on it. Thank you Sharon, I am so flattered that you enjoy my blog so much already! The trend of loud and complicated patterned backgrounds are pretty much over.

Its a much safer practice to stay away from the builtin editor, and download the stylesheet. Hi Chris, I totally agree with you, however based on past experience with the majority of my audience, they are looking for more basic solutions as opposed to the technical ones they can find anywhere else.

I do appreciate your input though because yes it is usually safer to go with a child theme. I did it! I edited my CSS. Thank you for your step-by-step directions. I was able to implement the changes you suggested and now my site is one step prettier. I just wanted to say thank you for the tips on CSS and customizing.

I am a blogger and I have taught myself all of the web design that I know, so I am always trying to learn more and find easier ways of doing things! Your blog has been an inspiration for my own! And you are most welcome, I love CSS and want everyone to know how to use it! Hey, Marianne! I recently posted on your Facebook group asking for help with the sidebar photo on sheridanbirth.

Thanks for the link to adding a custom CSS — your directions made it really easy to follow. I added this to the CSS as you suggested:. Any ideas? Hey Laura, I see that the roundedness did go away. Are you speaking of the cut off corners? I have the Foodie Pro theme. I would like to make the space where the post is wider so that there will be more words per line. I also might like to add a custom font. I would like to have a drop down menu as well that leads to pages or posts.

All this to say is this possible with my theme, and would your book explain how to do this? Hi Kristie, you should be able to adjust the widths of your content and sidebar columsn using CSS.

Have you read my CSS tutorial yet? That will help you find out how to use the Inspect tool to see what classes your columns are using. My upcoming CSS course will really help with that, so be sure to subscribe to be notified when it is released. You can certainly add drop down menus in Foodie Pro. This also makes it easier in the future if you decide to change your font to something else. You only need to change it once instead of three times! We can style more than just text in our CSS. We can define the look of a widget or image for example.

We can add a class to those elements in the HTML to specifically target them. We add a class like this:. Note that there are NO spaces between the word class, the equal sign, or the double quotes.

You can name a class whatever you want, you just want to name it something that makes sense. Also note that there are never any spaces in class names. In CSS, all class names begin with a dot.

For example, a bulleted or unordered list looks like this:. We would define it like this in the CSS:. But what if we wanted to target a particular unordered list, not all of them? We could do that by adding a class to our list items:.

This could get VERY cumbersome if we had list items! But now we need a slight change to our CSS. Do you see what I did there? I added the class name, then a space, THEN the li tag. Sometimes after editing your style sheet, you might get an error or find that a particular style definition is not working when you refresh your browser window. Oftentimes, these are caused by syntax errors.

Browsers can be very particular when it comes to proper syntax and one little mistake can throw everything off. If this happens…. Soooooo what did you think? Did this make sense? Was it easy to understand or too complicated? Your feedback will help me create the best workshop experience for you!

Thanks for that feedback Sascha! Thanks Marianne. I will try some out to reinforce my learning here. This is really useful. Exactly Mary-Anne! I look at CSS like a puzzle and the more you use it, the easier it gets. Great post again Marianne! You actually start to understand the lingo after some time. And not to mention how satisfying it is when stuff work how you want it too.

Oh Meera, that is so sweet of you to say! Way to keep at it! Marianne this is a great post! You make it super clear and although admittedly it will still take a bit of time to put into practice at least now I have begun to understand it.
