    can you edit the css/html

    I was wondering last night if I could see the css/html file and edit that instead of the back end of the site.  I understand the coding better than looking for it on the site.

    Currently we lock down the "shell" of the header / footer HTML, but you can alter and override the CSS on elements using the Custom CSS area on the main Theme Layout Settings page.

    We are looking to move towards a new technology in the next few months that will allow complete access to the page templates.

    You can view the CSS file easily if you get the Firefox's Web Developer or Firebug extension. The only way I've found to override the inline CSS is to use the !important modifier at the end of the line, e.g.:

    color: #000000 !important; 

     

    It also works for the accessible styles that you can change in the theme editor if you don't feel like digging for them.
