I just cruised from Support page 22 up to page 1 and I have chill bumps realizing how quickly you respond and you might even see my question today. Yea Missoula!! I have a site and I’m learning to use WordPress. I do like Virtue Premium very much. I want to control the spacing of things. I first set up some CSS in the Advanced Settings place, and later some in a Child. But it seems logical to have all my CSS edits in one place. With a Child Theme I would have a larger view window since I’d be on my FTP program rather than in the WP Dashboard with the skinny little window way down the page on Advanced Settings. But yesterday I moved all my CSS to a child and, with some other tinkering, managed to mess up my site to the degree that I’m now determined to start all over again* and reconstruct the whole thing from a fresh WordPress installation and a fresh Virtue Premium installation. Honestly the site didn’t have all that much, so I’m thinking this will be good experience and won’t take long. But before I start I want to confirm my assumption that all the CSS edits in a Child Theme will be just as effective as if I have them, or some of them, in the Advanced Settings spot. Is that right? http://www.hasselmannsbayco.org

* i’m so confused about which template gets called, which Dashbd/Page/Page Attribute Template matches up with which php template when I look in the Directory with my FTP program — that’s where my learning is at present
