It worked pretty well, however the background color and border color were not changed. If you detect the problem, please let me know.

 * Your CSS is valid, but it's possible it was overridden by rules somewhere else - can you link to your wiki? Also, unrelated to that, you can condense your padding values into a single rule:.


 * Thanks for the padding tip. My wiki is here.

 * Either use "!important" or define the stylings for ".WikiaArticle pre".--PedroM (talk) 19:53, August 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * should be avoided whenever possible. Using the selector  is the better solution.


 * Thanks! it now works.
