 * Hi, I use the Beastblog v2 german edition theme. I’d like to put a button with
   an mouse rollover effect on my sidebar. I added the following CSS code on the
   bottom of the standard CSS sheet of my theme:
 *     ```
       #youtube-button a { 
   
       display:block;
       background-image:url(images/youtube-button.png);
       width:195px;
       height:40px;
       }
   
       #youtube-button a:hover {
       background-image:url(images/youtube-button-on.png);
       }
       ```
   
 * On the sidebar php file I added the following code:
 *     ```
       <a id="youtube-button" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/funkapotentemusic">&nbsp;</a>
       ```
   
 * Sadly my CSS code has no effect on the appearance of the button. Theres just 
   a whitespace on my sidebar. Does anyone knows where’s the problem?

 * Change `#youtube-button` a to `a#youtube-button` and it should work. #youtube-
   button a is looking for a parent element with an id of youtube-button containing
   an `<a>` tag whereas a#youtube-button will look for an `<a>` tag with an id of
   youtube-button.
