css help!, editing main text of site Options

[cute_sweetie015]

Well I'm fairly new to making CSS stylesheets and I've pretty much figured everything out except how to affect the font (color, pt, font-family) of the main text. My stylesheet is below...and I've tried everything, but I cant figure out what I've done wrong. Any help will be greatly apprectiated.

//blogringdocument.write
.left, .blogbody, table.footer, .standard, .leftmodulefontcolor, td, p {
/* edits main text */
font:normal 11px arial;
line-height:10px;
color:black;
letter-spacing:0px;
text-align:justify;
}

//blogringdocument.write - this needs to go, and remember that
this is CB, not blogring. Thank you!

^ YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT OUT~!
It calls a function, you need it. It refers to Blogring as in the kind you join. >.<
Anyways.... In that section of code.... Replace this with whatever.
font:normal 11px arial; <- Change the font and size. Also, use pt instead of px.
