change color when bold/italic script not working Options

[gelionie]

CODE

<style type="text/css">
.blogbody b, .standard b, p b, strong {
font-weight: bold;
color: #b8b8b8;}

.blogbody i, .standard i, p i, em {
font-weight: italic;
color: #b8b8b8;}
</style>

Anything wrong with the code?
You can see from my xanga that only the dates change color, but not the bolded words in my entries.

i don't know if this is gonna help but this was what i used on my old layout

CODE

U {font-family: arial; color: #000000; letter-spacing:; font-size: 11px; font-style: border; border-bottom: 1pt solid #ffffff;}

P {font-family:arial; color:#ffffff; font-size: 8pt; text-align:justify;}

B, STRONG {font-family:arial; font-weight: heavy; color: #000000; :none; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing:0pt}

i, EM {font-family:times new roman; color: #000000; :none; font-size: 11px;}

this will edit your bold, italics, regular, and underline.
