try editing that part

[Nugget]

thats the part i have been editing the whole time

[talcumpowder]

Pft.... You have to put ACTUAL color codes where it says to, or take those lines out. Oh, and you should put all those mini-stylesheets into one big one.

[Nugget]

umm i made a layout b4 w.o putting color codes to where its suppose to be and it turned out correct.. and all my codes are together..and take out wut lines

[talcumpowder]

background-color: #COLOR CODE;
^ Like that. And I'm only telling you to put them all together because it loads faster. You take out irrelevant lines to make it load faster too.

[largosama]

ummm it's Arial, not arial. the font name has to match exactly the name of the font on the computer. so if you have like "G4NsTiFied" it'll have to be exactly that.

[Nugget]

largosama - it doesnt really matter to me cause i never spelled it Arial on all of my layouts and it turned out perfectly fine but i changed them just incase and it didnt do anything

and nyah-nek0 - i filled out teh color codes and that did nothing either
