Hello
i know this question had been asked a lot in this forum , and i did check a lot of these posts,,,but i honestly didnt find it satisfying ,,maybe because i am new with templates & sites , anyway my question is 1 - how can i change a color ,size , fonts , background of modules ,,i did try FIREBUG & it did help me a lot and i tried to look where i can apply the changes in the template but Unfortunately you can't save your changes and i couldnt change a single thing in my template , i hope you provide me with links ,tips, or videos,,,in order to show me exactly where to make changes ,
Thank You
Best Regard

Hi,
The best place to add any changes is override.css file. This file will never be overrided during updates. So it helps to save your changes even if you update template or module. But you have to remember to enable override.css option in template settings.

To see default template look please install quickstart package. It contains all settings as same as our demo page.

Please use some ftp client like filezilla or TotalCommander. Connect to your server and change permissions for those files. Here you have article about permissions http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
