Open the page you wish to edit, and click on 'View' then 'Source' from your browser's menu. This will open an HTML page in a text-only program such as NotePad or SimpleText.
Scroll through the HTML page and locate the style.css file. Double-click the file name.
Make a copy of the file and work from the copy.
Locate the attribute you want to edit. The attributes will be identified by names indicating sections such as body, header and content.
Make your changes to the code displayed between the curly brackets, which look like { and }. These changes can be either to adjust margins, font sizes, colors or other style elements you want to edit.
Remove the text for any codes you are replacing. For example, if you have changed your font color from blue to black be sure to delete the word 'blue' from that line of code.
Save your changes and upload the file to your WordPress site using an FTP client.
Open your page in a browser to view your edits.

Which Computer Languages Are Used to Create Websites?In Feburary 2016 02,

Hyper-text Markup Language, called HTML, is the most basic language for the creation of a website. Using HTML, you can create the basic elements of a page, including the header and body, tables, paragraphs and text. HTML is a tag-based language, which defines elements using tags enclosed in less than (
) symbols.
CSS
Cascading Style Sheets allow you fine control over formatting elements in a website. Using CSS, you can define complex logic for formatting of elements on your site, from special backgrounds to how different sections fit together and flow. You can modify the color and style of fonts, change how hyperlinks work and format bullets. CSS works with HTML to allow the defining and application of classes, which can then be referenced in the HTML page to designate the style of the HTML element.
JavaScript
JavaScript is slightly more advanced than HTML and CSS. It is used to create action within a website, such as what happens when you click your mouse or scroll over an image. JavaScript is frequently used to perform input checking as well. This allows the Web designer to validate the input in a form field prior to sending the information to the server.
ColdFusion and PHP
Both ColdFusion and PHP are Web development languages designed to facilitate interaction with a database on the server. These languages allow the developer to pull information from a database and display it on a site. In addition, they can be used to update or insert new information into a database based on form inputs. Both languages can be seamlessly integrated with HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create complex websites. No special software is required to write these languages, but each requires an application to be installed to interpret the language and furnish results. Adobe's ColdFusion application is a commercial application, while PHP is Open Source.
SQL
Structured Query Language is a language used primarily for accessing data in databases. This language is required to use the functionality of ColdFusion or PHP on a website. Some common database applications used with websites are Microsoft's SQL Server, Oracle's Sybase and MySQL databases. Of these, MySQL is the only Open Source application. Again, writing SQL does not require special software, but the databases must be installed on the servers for the website.
