Since you said “notepad” I assume you’re referring to the default text editor in Windows right? I’m on a Mac and we have a different program that we use, so I can’t remember how notepad will display css. You may be right, I think the notepad program probably won’t display your css file in the same way as an actual CSS editing program would. If I were you I’d use a program that is actually designed for editing HTML/CSS so you’ll be able to see the line numbers and plenty of other useful features. Plus, it will help you avoid situations where the text will get all mixed up as mentioned above. A good editor will keep the format so you won’t have to worry about that happening.

When I had a PC back in the day I used a program called Notepad++ – http://download.cnet.com/Notepad/3000-2352_4-10327521.html it’s free and is a well known/used program for Windows. Definitely give that a try.

Are you familiar with FTP? You could use a program like Filezilla to edit your files directly. You would sync that up with an editing program and you can make changes to your theme files and it will automatically update your site. Also, if you make an error, you’ll be able to undo it and revert back…..this is something you won’t be able to do with the WordPress editor.
