 * I’m having a wierd problem customizing the style sheet, using Candid theme.
    
   I can make changes to existing css on the style sheet but I cannot successfully
   add anything to the bottom. When I add something like div.whatever { color: #
   ffffff; } The div class appears ok as code in the source but it has absolutely
   no effect on the page itself. Has anybody come across this before?

 * yes – there is possilbly a broken style somewhere in the stylesheet which keeps
   the lower styles from being applied;
 * maybe [http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/](http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/)
   can give you an idea where the error is.
 * or post a link to your site.

 * The first thing I tried was the validator and it showed nothing except a selection
   of cross browser problems. But as a result of your suggestion I went over it 
   by eye and I found a couple of missing brackets in the original strings. Problem
   solved!
    Thank you, and for your quick reply.
