# Code change not changing page.

 * I made some changes to my wp-layout.css based on a tutorial at page [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/graphicalcss/header/index.html.](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/graphicalcss/header/index.html.)
   It should have changed the header quite dramaticly, but it didn’t change at all.
   I deleted my temporary internet files and pressed the ctrl+f5 to be sure that
   the page was refreashing. I also had a friend check the page.
    I am new to this
   and I didn’t expect it to be perfect, but I did expect to at least see something
   change-even if was all messed up. But, it’s exactly as it was before the changes.
   What am I missing? I changed: `#header { background: #90a090; border-bottom: 
   double 3px #aba; border-left: solid 1px #9a9; border-right: solid 1px #565; border-
   top: solid 1px #9a9; font: italic normal 230% 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
   letter-spacing: 0.2em; margin: 0; padding: 15px 10px 15px 60px; } to: #header{
   background-image: url('fisherman.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat; border:
   solid 1px #000; margin: 0; height: 200px; width: 718px; }

 * The css the page is loading has this:
    #header { background: #90a090; border-
   bottom: double 3px #aba; border-left: solid 1px #9a9; border-right: solid 1px#
   565; border-top: solid 1px #9a9; font: italic normal 230% ‘Times New Roman’, 
   Times, serif; letter-spacing: 0.2em; margin: 0; padding: 15px 10px 15px 60px;}
   You are editing the wrong wp-layout.css it seems.

 * The changes are there, at least part of them; check the path for the bg image!

 * I’m in Taiwan doing this, but my server is in the U.S.. Could this be part of
   the problem.
    Anyway, I downloaded a complete wp-layout.css template at [http://chris.lineages.co.uk/Wordpress_template_index.php](http://chris.lineages.co.uk/Wordpress_template_index.php)
   and overwrote my file on server. This definetly changed some things. It doesn’t
   look exactly like the example but at lease I’m doing something. By the way, if
   I want a new wp-layout.css template to work do I need to change my permissions
   on my WP index.php with my server? Thanks for your help, guys.
