if use firefox firebug can locate css easily. can make temporary changes firebug before edit files.

a method of editing files is
  • use firefox/firebug view site
  • use filezilla ftp client open file editing
    (it downloads tmp file on pc , opens in notepad (or can set favourite html/php/css editor). when save changes fz asks if want upload changed file. after selecting upload changes, view site. switch notepad screen edit or undo changes).
    if using xampp on windows can edit css file without needing ftp.
