byron2k12 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I was looking at videos on HTML and CSS and because most of the videos show the HTML/CSS being demonstrated in a notepad file, i was wondering will this work or not on my wordpress site (i'm learning it so i can customize my wordpress). Take for example this - {background: gray;} It works fine and turns the background gray in a .html notepad file, but on my wordpress it does nothing. What kinda of HTML/CSS should i be learning and where in order to specifically make a nice wordpress site and not a notepad site. Thank you.

Jessica Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 In Wordpress, you can edit your theme's CSS file. Look under Appearances or wherever it is you pick a theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron2k12 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Oh i see, so you're limited in how much HTML/CSS you can apply to the writing on your page? You have to edit the actual theme file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakimserwa Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 html and css is the same used every where. you only need to locate the wright file to edit. use an addon for mozilla firefox to quickly locate where the css of your script is located. the addon is called firebug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgweb Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 opera and chrome have it built in (right click and inspect element) Opera has the most functionality imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
