the files .php and WordPress Blog in Dreamweaver

If my BLOG was static, I could go in and edit the CSS, classes, etc.. With my WordPress BLOG, I'm up in the dark in terms of having useful DW in the edition of the BLOG.

When I put them to the top of my blog, I only get an index.htm page of course. What, then, is the page I'm looking at? What would be its name in all my documents Word Press? I'd like someone to point me in the right direction on this. I can go on my blog published in a browser, and then do "view source" that copy the source code into a blank document in dreamweaver and it is editable. That's great. But if I were to 'save' this page, what on earth I would talk to go up towards the server and overwrite the settings of my elders with the newly published page?

If you want to learn more about PHP, follow the tutorial on www.php.net, or
grab a good book--preferably one of my friends. ;-)

If your interest in PHP is simply to learn how to customize WordPress,
you're in for a long and arduous struggle. WordPress is composed of hundreds
files that present a daunting prospect for even an experienced PHP
Developer.

I have integrated a WordPress blog on my site a long time ago so I
most of the details forgotten. However, the actual pages that appear on
your site are generated by files in a subfolder of wp-content/themes.
The name of the subfolder is usually the name of the theme that you have
selected in your WordPress administration area. The elements of the page are made
place of index.php, header.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php.
Still, unless you really know what you're doing, they better leave it alone.

Mission almost impossible. Editing files in WordPress is to work
Code reviews, such as WordPress uses a modular structure, where each part of the
page is generated on the fly by custom functions. The most convenient way
for a non-programmer to work with WordPress is saving a page from one
live site and edit the style sheet. If you use the default theme,
the style sheet is wp-content/themes/default/style.css. Once you have
fine-tuned to your needs, simply download the new stylesheet to your remote
Server.
