Theme beach is really nice as it gives your blog the touch of the nature of beach. Nice and cool looking Theme beach by Gibbo. Now its the time
for you to modify the CSS/Style sheet to give it your own touch.
As usual I have included some basic and important CSS Style sheet modification which will help you if you are new or novice in CSS.
Here I have tried to show you about the Font color,font type and font size,width, text alignment modification of Site Title, Site Description,blog post and left side bar.
Also you will be able to know how to hide navigation menu, font color change of navigation menu, footer section hide or remove, remove or hide comment box,previous
comment etc.
Important Note: I did this modification according to the Theme Beach of WordPress.com self hosted blog.

Thanks a lot for the theme and for the editing info above. I’ve used it here for my Urdu language blog: http://paradigmbilling.com/wordpress/
My question is a little naive one: How do you access the code that we are supposed to modify? For instance, where exactly is this code located:
#branding {
background: url(“images/landscape.gif”) repeat-x scroll 60% 100% #77BBDD;
display: none;
min-height: 75px;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
Should I go to the Theme Editor?
Once again, sorry for the naive question.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Hi Jeff….
Just go to the “Appearance–>Editor” and from the right side select “Style.css” (by default it remains selected though)
and paste the code at the bottom of that style.css
**Let me know if you have any question
