I am modifying one of the default themes that come with drupal, garland.
I made a copy of the theme, renamed it and started editing the css.  Nothing happenned.  My css edits were not reflected in the css being sent from drupal.
In order to have your css edits saved, it is necessary to re-save the theme within the drupal theme admin.  Once I did this, all was well.
