 * Thanks for making the best free theme we’ve tried so far.
 * Using latest version of wp core all updated plugins, no conflicts, healthy site.
   Tried exporting blocksy theme settings, nice feature to have! But when we import
   the dat file, it does not include the additional CSS that was on the site where
   we created the export file.
 * Not a big deal, since we can just copy/paste the CSS code from old site to new,
   but would be nice to have a reminder or checkbox in the export process where 
   it says “export the additional CSS as well?” this way the admin will not be kicking
   themselves if they forgot to save the additional CSS and delete the old site 
   losing access to that code.
 * Because, some folks, like us will use quite a lot of additional CSS to customize
   and fine-tune the appearance of the wordpress site… which usually override wp
   core or plugin limitations.

 * Hello [@wordmax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordmax/)
 * The “Additional CSS” pane is actually not provided by the theme, but by WordPress
   itself. We do not have much control over it, unfortunately. The Customiser import/
   export feature is provided by us, and we can easily interact with our options.
 * Additionally, the Customiser import/export feature refers to the _Customiser_,
   not WordPress’ features, so it is expected that it imports/exports only the settings.
 * Hope this clears everything up!
 * Thanks.
