How to Copy Webpage Style Sheets (CSS): Element Inspection

Static blog themes predominantly rely on foreign templates with minor modifications, without much consideration for typesetting Chinese content

Main body

About two weeks ago, I made some adjustments to my blog’s stylesheet. Having worked in backend service development for many years, I’m a complete novice when it comes to frontend. After fiddling with it all day, the design still wasn’t quite right. Then I had an idea – inspired by technical blogs like InfoQ and Open Source China, whose layouts are excellent. Could I borrow some of their techniques? I looked at the source code for a while, trying to locate the relevant elements, but ended up completely confused.

Frontend developers seeing this might be laughing… don’t understand how to locate specific elements. No worries, I have plenty of time on the weekend; thinking back, I seem to have used something similar when writing crawlers before.
