treebook stylesheets

I'm doing the treebook project and just finished the 'intro to views' section. I want to apply more styling to the default look. I tried adding the html attributes for bgcolor, text, link, alink, etc.to the body tag but it did not work, when I reloaded the page it did not show the changes, though in the page source my changes were there. I even tried creating a style block in the styles.css page, but that didn't work either. Where/how do I setup the global page styles with background colors links, etc.?

Hey Osgaldor Storm can you paste a link to your app on GitHub?

Let me go push it to github, then I'll post the link.

Oh, so apparently I was making changes in the wrong stylesheet. I made changes to the scaffolds.css.scss sheet and that seems to be the one I'm looking for.
