So I mastered the art of being able to change CSS properties. Apparently you have to be using the right CSS file! Lol, I spent like 2-3 hours trying to change properties of the wrong file and wondered why my site's attributes didn't change... it's nice to have things actually work right....

On the topic of websites, I found a gem... it's called Ctrl+F5. It reloads the page completely if your changes to the site don't show (caused by ISP cache problems)... awesomeness....
