I've made numerous changes to my theme via the CSS block in Theme Options. Wondering if there's a seamless method to migrate these changes to a Child Theme. I don't have much coding knowledge but I suspect there must be a way to grab a version of the blog as it is (modified) and save that as the child theme. Maybe?

Many good text editors have a "Compare Files" funciton, so use that to compare an unedited copy of the css file and your edited copy and save the differences for your child theme.

Thank you. Can you suggest one? – RKB Dec 24 '12 at 0:49
Windows or OS X? – songdogtech Dec 24 '12 at 0:52
Windows. Maybe there's a firefox add-on or plugin? – RKB Dec 24 '12 at 0:53
Use WinMerge, it doesn't matter which editor you use then. Just be sure to have backups of both the original and your customised version :) – webaware Dec 24 '12 at 1:00
