 * Still new at css and hoping you can help. I’m trying to change the color and 
   bold the text in the Form Text field, but I can’t seem to get the css formatting
   to work.
 * I think the elements is class=”yikes-mailchimp-form-description yikes-mailchimp-
   form-description-f677b8c98b”
 * so I’ve tried several variations of:
 * .yikes-mailchimp-form-description .yikes-mailchimp-form-description-f677b8c98b
   {
   color: 59870C; font-weight: bold; }
 * What would be the correct code?

 * Hi lewatson.
 * Do you have a link to your site with the MailChimp form on it?
 * Off the bat I see you are missing the “#” before the hex code.
    `color: #59870C;`
 * But I would like to see your site to help troubleshoot.
 * Thanks!

 * Sorry about that. My test site: [http://www.raisethelight.com/](http://www.raisethelight.com/)
 * Do you want me to add the code back into my custom style sheet?

 * PS: I know the style sheet is being read as I have other css customizations in
   there that are being picked up.

 * You have an extra selector in your CSS. Please try this (remove .yikes-mailchimp-
   form-description)
 *     ```
       .yikes-mailchimp-form-description-f677b8c98b
       {
            color: #59870C;
            font-weight: bold;
       }
       ```

 * Fantastic! That did it. Looking at that line with Firebug there two selectors
   were shown so thought both were needed.
 * Thank you!
