Anyone know Joomla?

I'm having a minor spot of trouble and the various docs I've read online aren't helpful.

I'm trying to add my own CSS styles. I'm using the default template, and I've edited template.css to include them.

I can view source on my page and see that /templates/rhuk_milkyway/css/template.css is indeed being included. When I open up that page in the browser directly I can see that my style is there. I tested the style by writing a little HTML file on my local disk and viewing it in the browser and the style works as I'd expect, but somehow when the page is rendered, the style is not picked up.

My first thoughts would be that either the selector isn't quite right (typo or some such), or that the formatting is being overridden by a more specific tag.

What browser are you using? For issues like this, the developer tools are incredibly useful. For Firefox, I use FireBug; for IE, I use the IE Developer Toolbar, and for Chrome I use the built-in developer tools (control-shift-i).

Each of these have a mode where you can click on an element to select it, and then it will show you what styles are affecting it, from what stylesheets.

Is this visible somewhere?

That's a good point

I should load up firebug. The example is really grotesquely simple, but maybe Firebug will help me figure something out.
