 * Hi,
 * Just getting in to WP and loving it.
 * Question: is it possible to edit the stylesheet whilst in the dashboard. At the
   moment I’m editing it externally in dreamweaver then republishing it.
 * Thanks,
 * Jo

 * [Yes there is](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Editor_SubPanel), but I 
   prefer a [text editor](http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Text_editor)…

 * But doesn’t editing it in the control panel avoid the step of having to republish
   the stylesheet . . . . oh but hang on, I guess doing it your way means you have
   a local backup!
 * Right?

 * Yes exactly, I always make the changes locally, and then upload them to my web
   server, so that I have a backup on my PC.
 * There are some popular editors, like Coda, that can edit the files live on the
   sever, just like the WordPress editor. But I wouldn’t recommend doing this unless
   you have a reliable system in place to make daily backups of your web server.
 * I use Notepad++ or Bluefish for text editing, which I think have some handy features
   to help you write code versus just using Notepad or WordPress; own editor.
