Having a devil of a time getting my blockquote to appear (3 posts)

    I've created my own wordpress theme, still working the bugs out and I'm having a devil of a time getting my css styled blockquote to appear.

    Here is the css styling for quote:

    blockquote p {
    padding: 20px 0px 20px 20px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 370px;
    right: 0px;
    width: 275px;
    font: 32px Times, serif;
    font-style: italic;
    color: black;
    background:#99cc33;
    z-index: 1;
    }

    blockquote em {
    font: 24px Times, serif;
    font-style: normal;
    }

    Here is a link to the site I've tried changing it to a div for some reason it will not recognize the styling. Should it be in some other template than home.php? Should the css styling be in another file. I just want to have a single quote on the home page. That overlaps the photo and "news banner" with some dynamic styling. Thanks for your help.

    you have a few broken styles which disable any styles lower down to get applied:

    two wrong closing brackets here:

    .post-title {
    		text-indent: 0px;
    		padding: 30px 0px 10px 0px;
    		font: 32px Trebuchet, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
    		color: black;
    		list-style: none;
    		background-color: #ffffff;
    		text-transform: none;
    		letter-spacing: 0px;
    	{
    
    	.postmetadata {
    		color: black;
    	{
