CSS is styling and does not change the underlying functionality of the theme, which is (as I understand it) in the HTML files, which we do not have access to here. So you cannot create a theme from scratch here.

Those code bits have to be written somehow...there are ten different kinds of Sandbox, I think, and it's quite possible to do virtually anything with them. If you need more than that, you need to be at WP.org.

When people ask about CSS, I've noticed that most people recommend the Sandbox theme because it is flexible, yet would it be possible to just get a blank and write your own CSS? I understand that this would be extremely difficult; I'd just like to know if it's possible.

Still, the only reason I downloaded a theme in the first place was because i don't like the ones that are available. I there anyway to get new themes? I already have the CSS editing option activated but I don't know enough to make my own theme

Downloaded themes are for wordpress.org blogs, and if you have one of them, you should not be in this forum as it is a wordpress.com forum.

For future reference, please provide the link of your blog, and also consider linking it to your name to avoid further confusion. Go to Dasboard -> Users -> Your Profile and fill in the "website" box.

If I don't know what elements are named in the HTML, how can I customize new CSS that will apply to what the HTML is looking for? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!
