 * I like to read my CSS file in Beyond Compare, a software where you can compare
   exactly which changes you’ve made with the original CSS and your modified CSS
   from the Editor screen.
    You can download a trial online if you have an immediate
   project and purchase later if you find it useful and have have other projects
   to work on.
 * As far as grabbing a readable copy of your stylesheet goes you can just go to“
   View” in your browser and travel to “Page Source” and then select the link containing
   your website’s theme name ending in .CSS to grab your Stylesheet or you read 
   it using Firefox’s add-on Firebug. You could also open it using your FTP client
   to download it to your machine and open it in Notepad.

 * Thanks. I got the copy but it’s not formatted, everything is crunched together
   in one long paragraph. I’m viewing it in notepad. Would putting it in Beyond 
   Compare or another tool fix this issue?
