 * Hi Shade,
 * Thanks for using Author!
 * The style.min.css file is meant only for being loaded on the site, and not for
   human editing. The best way to add CSS to Author is through the Custom CSS section
   in the Customizer. Any CSS you add there will be automatically added to the site
   for you, and will be kept safely when you update to newer versions of Author.
 * If you’re worried you’ve made an edit to style.min.css that you want to undo,
   you can download a new copy of Author from it’s page here on the repo, and then
   upload a fresh copy of the style.min.css file to your server.

 * Hi Ben,
 * Thank you for your quick and clear answer !
    I’ll try to use the Custom CSS section,
   but what am i suppose to write ?
 * I mean, i would like to change background of the website, but sometimes thre’re
   different background (one for the header, one for the body etc), so i how should
   i write it please ?

 * Yea no problem 🙂
 * Here’s the absolute easiest way:
 * While viewing your site, right-click an element you want to modify and choose
   the Inspect Element option. Every browser has their own developer tools for this,
   but I personally prefer Chrome’s.
 * This will give you a way to find the element you want to change, and locate the
   existing CSS that is affecting it. Once you find the CSS that is already being
   used, you can copy it into the Custom CSS section. Then all you need to do is
   change the value.
 * Here’s a quick video demonstrating how that works: [http://pics.competethemes.com/0W1n470V3E2z](http://pics.competethemes.com/0W1n470V3E2z)
 * Alternatively, you could search through the style.css for the code currently 
   being used, and copy it into the Custom CSS section

 * Thank you !
 * I had to ask a friend, because at the beginning it didn’t work, but with this
   it’s finaly okay :
    #main { background: url(/wp-admin/images/bg.jpeg) fixed center
   no-repeat; background-size: cover; }
