3,601 PointsCSS Style Overrides
Hi there, building my website currently and just trying to get the CSS styles worked out. I'm encountering a problem I never have before, I'm totally confused! My CSS styles keep overriding each other within the same style sheets and just generally acting weird. For example for the "#content" area div, I'll put
#content h1 {
color: yellow;
}
#content p {
color: red;
}
And whichever is later in the style sheet will work and the first one won't. My most current styles exist online at hannahswann.com/test. Please halp!!

3,601 PointsYeah, that is the problem. It's not the actual code however. Alot of my css is not styling properly and just being sort of weird. Not sure if its just tiny mistakes on my part or some sort of big thing I overlooked.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 49,960 PointsHi Hannah, Try moving #content above #content h1 and #content p in your style.css stylesheet so the home page section would look like
#content {
background-color: #F2ECE7;
}
#content h1 {
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #F2736A;
text-align: center;
}
#content img{
display:block;
margin:auto;
width: 100%;
}
Hope that helps! And that's a really nice looking design by the way.

3,601 PointsThanks! I actually ended up getting it working. You can check out the updated version on the same URL. CSS can either be so awesome or so finicky... you never know. I still have to put together the other pages and then make it into a theme for wordpress. Hopefully it doesn't take me too long! I may be back on here with any more problems.
