 * I’m having a heck of a time isolating the css for the not-yet-filled input field
   text. Is this determined by the plugin or by my own stylesheet?

 * Do you ever use your browser’s built in developer tools to inspect the CSS? This
   makes it easy to find that the default CSS file is `wp-content/plugins/speakout/
   css/theme-default.css`
 * The name field ID is `dk-speakout-first-name-1` and the other fields have names
   based on what they do – the trailing number is the petition ID.
 * But…I urge you to not edit the included CSS files as they change from time to
   time and your custom work will be lost.
 * One solution is to create a custom CSS file (maybe from a duplicate of theme-
   default.css), read [https://speakout.123host.net.au/faq/](https://speakout.123host.net.au/faq/)
   for how to do that. But even then, if I improve CSS in the default CSS, you won’t
   get those updates.
 * The best solution is to use your themes Additional CSS section and over-ride 
   the default styles with your own settings.

 * Additional CSS section — of course that’s what I’ve been doing. 🙂
    For some 
   reason I couldn’t isolate the placeholder text CSS. I’ll figure it out. Thanks.
