For those Community Server novices out there like me it is often a pain staking process to try and change the theme for your website.  A lot of trial and error makes it a daunting task at best.  Here is a nice little nugget I stumbled across to help ease users along with the daunting task of creating a theme for their website.  It also will help users like me who are relatively new to Community Server figure out what parts of the different .css files control what.  It is for those who use Firefox browsers called FireBug.

For info on it click here.

Very cool-  I was just thinking, the other day, how neat it would be to be able to visualize elements' padding and margins- nice.  Seems a little buggy but surely will improve.

Yeah being as much of a novice as I  am with theming, etc... in Community Server I think once I get to play around with it more it will be a lot nicer than my trial and error method.  Big Smile
