Header description will not obey my CSS! Argh!
This is very odd, but I'm sure simple, I just can't finger it out.
On http://erikaslist.org the description line "Craigslist for people with disabilities" won't obey ANY CSS unless it's inline, as it is here:
Code:

<div id="header"> <div class="header-logo"> <div>">[img]<?php if ( get_option('cp_logo') <> [/img]/images/header-logo.gif<?php } ?>" border="0" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></div> <div style="font-weight:bold; color:#07569f; padding-top:3px;"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div> </div> <div class="header-ad"> <?php cp_header_ad_468x60();?> </div> </div> <div class="topbar"> etc, etc
It doesn't matter what ID or class I give the div (I tried just random letters like "desffff") or even if I make it a span or a paragraph rather than a div. Doesn't change anything, padding, margin, font, color, nothing. Even if it's text instead of the php command, same.

OK, soooo.... I figured it out, maybe.

The theme's stylesheet that you can edit through the Wordpress dashboard under "Appearance" does nothing.
It can actually be blank.
I deleted all of it and it changed nothing.
Everything has to be on the master css, or the css of the color you've chosen, then uploaded with FTP.

That stylesheet actually should be blank, to avoid this problem, yes?

As far as I can tell, anyway, anyone know for sure?

We have had reports that edits through the wordpress dash dont seem to work. This is usually due to a permissions issue on your host though.

Eric is best known in the forum for his in depth tutorials. He started in design 4 years ago and then discovered WordPress and has been coding and hacking themes and plugins ever since. He's quite helpful if you have any questions for him in the forum. Eric also makes his own WordPress themes and plugins and provides ClassiPress consulting on the side.

Permissions are 777, I just changed them. Still not doing anything. It does save the changes I make, they just have no effect.

Did you reset the cache to your browser?

Yes, of course
