Wordpress customizing with CSS - css

I want to edit my wordpress website CSS style using the dashboard. I only can login using admin password and username but I dont have the website file. Where I should write the CSS statements ?

Dashboard - Appearance - Editor - style.css

if you are looking to edit the CSS of a blog hosted by wordpress, follow these directions:
go to Appearance → Customize → CSS in your blog dashboard.
You will be able to add custom CSS here.
Make sure you save your changes, then refresh your page.
This site has a detailed description of how to do this.
The directions are more complex if you wish to add a custom stylesheet to your theme. Just based on the question alone, i'm assuming that wordpress.com is hosting your blog though.

Go to admin panel-> appearance->Editor->style.css will appear on right hand side.

Editable Settings in Custom WordPress Theme

I am trying to implement a simple one page -no blog- WordPress theme using a bootstrap template. I have an aside with three social links -facebook, twitter, Instagram- in the header.
I want to be able to make it so not only are these able to put truned on or off in by the user through the wp admin dashboard, but also the links to those sites able to be put in through said dashboard.
I am using udnerscores as a starter theme. How do I go about doing what I am looking to do?
This can be achieved using the Customizer API. That would be my recommendation. There is a lot of really good documentation on how to use that here. It also includes a whole bunch of sample code. Give that a look.

How to add content to the footer via the dashboard?

I've been trying to develop my own theme and in need of some help regarding adding content to the footer.
I need to add some text to the footer which could be changed via the admin panel. I know about the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin, but I would like to learn how this can be done without using it.
I've seen theme's where the footer(or other) changes can be made via Appearance > Theme Options section in the wordpress dashboard and I too would like to do the same.
I would be grateful if anyone could provide me a link or help me start with the process of doing so.
Regards,
Vinith Almeida
You can install the OptionTree plugin for WordPress. Then you can set your theme settings via the plugin, and then when you come to the footer section, you can use the ot_get_option() function to use the user value.
You can also watch this video for more help : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0WlHITVfc or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9JQJAu0X30
You can always register your own code for an option page that can contains options for your theme, but this requires deeper knowledge of the WordPress.

Wordpress tiny mce editor does not show exact in the front end

I recently started developing websites on wordpress. I have this problem with tinymce editor. When i write post and format content it looks how I want in it. But when I publish post and check that it looks really crappy.Then I called the stylesheet of tinymce editor on everypage of website. I must say there is change but it still looks bad.
How can I get content in exact formatted way as I see in the tinyMCE?
Thanks,
kiran
On the frontend the styles from your theme will be taking precedence over the layout and sizing of content.
In the administration section it will be using a default TinyMCE editor css file. This allows for Wordpress to easily support a variety of themes without making many changes.
So that leaves you with the potential inconsistency, which you have identified here.
Either you work with the WYSIWYG editor giving you an approximation or you could add the relevant styles from your theme to the editors CSS. This can be done using add_editor_style() DOCs.
Use this WordPress plugin to solve your problem.

Wordpress - How to customize a theme?

I just signed up for wordpress.com, I can see how to edit CSS but I want the header to not be text but rather an image. how do I update the page template on wordpress? on tumblr it's so easy, wordpress is tricky!
You're very limited with what you can do with css and xhtml on Wordpress.com. You can't write your own page templates or make siginificant changes to .com themes.
What you're probably thinking about is self-hosting Wordpress, and if you do that, you can do whatever you want with themes, css and xhtml. See Main Page « WordPress Codex and Hosting WordPress « WordPress Codex.
Wordpress.com only let's you edit CSS of their pre-installed themes. Actual theme files cannot be edited, and also you cannot install just any theme you want. You will need to self host your own Wordpress install to customize and add themes in the manner that you are hoping to.
Since you can only edit the CSS on Wordpress.com, you might try a background image. You can upload an image into the media section and then, using CSS, format the header area to the height and width that you want and place a background image into the header. And then if you want to get rid of all of the text, you could use something like this on the header to push all of the text off the page:
text-align:left;
text-indent:-5000px;
