 * I have converted a html theme to WordPress, however when you call the page up
   in the WordPress dashboard to edit it does,nt load the css. I need the page to
   be exactly as the front end of the website so the site is clearly editable. Has
   anyone any ideas how to make the page in the WordPress dashboard look like the
   front end of the site, is this possible????
 * Thanks in advance.

 * When you say you converted an HTML theme to WordPress, how did you do it? Did
   you create a page and copy in the HTML using the Text editor? How did you copy
   in the CSS, did you enclose it in style tags? Or are you saying that you need
   to be able to edit the page in the Visual editor as it appears on the site? I’m
   not sure that you will get an exact re-creation of the visual appearance using
   the Visual editor. I always use the Text editor when I’m creating a page or post,
   and then tweak it by going back & forth between looking at the page in a browser
   and working with the straight HTML in the text editor. But I’ll use a web debug
   tool like Chrome’s Development Tools so I minimize the amount of editing in the
   text editor that I have to do; I make changes interactively with the site and
   figure out all the edits that I have to do at once.
