It's hard to say what is going on just looking at your CSS. The syntax looks fine to me. Do you have the proper classes assigned to your HTML elements?

If you post both your HTML and CSS files I might be able to help you. Wrap your code with three back ticks (```) a line above and below your snippet. That will make it easier to read. Click on the Markdown Cheatsheet link below the comment box for more info.
