 * Hello Devs…
 * I’m trying to get ‘Google Fonts’ plugin to work with the above Theme. It works
   fine in the ‘mobile’ theme that accompanies Foto but the main theme just wont
   pick it up even if I use the css style sheet as instructed:
 *     ```
       /*
       Welcome to Custom CSS!
   
       CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a kind of code that tells the browser how
       to render a web page. You may delete these comments and get started with
       your customizations.
   
       By default, your stylesheet will be loaded after the theme stylesheets,
       which means that your rules can take precedence and override the theme CSS
       rules. Just write here what you want to change, you don't need to copy all
       your theme's stylesheet content.
       */
       #container H1 {
       	font-family: 'Allerta Stencil', arial, serif;
       }
   
       #container blockquote {
       	font-family: 'Short Stack', arial, serif;
       }
   
       #container li {
       	font-family: 'Delius Swash Caps', arial, serif;
       }
       ```
   
 * Any ideas? If you want to see what I mean the site is thesoulgirl.com

 * Looking at your site, the first thing I see is that `#container` should be `.
   container`, and if you’re trying to change your site’s main title (“The Soulgirl…”),
   you should use `.container h1 a {}`. However, the bigger issue is that I don’t
   see those fonts you listed in your CSS rules anywhere on your site. The only 
   Google fonts I see are Lato, Oswald, Varela Round, Montserrat, Open Sans, Mystery
   Quest, Oleo Script, and Snippet.

 * They’re in the plugin; all worked fine with my old theme.
