 * I am working on a website for a group of researchers at a University. As it’s
   expected they have tight security on their servers so I can’t really access the
   WP files for my Origin child theme. I made my child theme and made all necessary
   customizations but I still need to overwrite certain things from the main Style
   Sheet that for some reason have not been overwritten by my child theme.
 * My files are not writeable and the IT team at the university won’t make them 
   so.
 * I thought I’d make my modifications by adding Custom CSS but I find the little
   custom CSS field extremely difficult to work with as it is just a Text box.
 * Is there an alternative? Would you consider making it a text area in a future
   update? Right now I’m doing it the hard way, coding in Sublime text and pasting
   my modifications in that little text box but It’s a pain.
