 * I have created and installed a twentytwelve child theme. Changes I make to the
   child style.css are not showing on the site.
 * Please note …
    1. Child .php changes are working as I would expect (category.
   php, content.php, single.php, etc.) 2. I have already deleted the cash + reinstalled
   the child theme. 3. I followed the recommendation in the codex on the child style.
   css header. The file now is trying to change the color in two places. There will
   be other changes I will want to make but for now I am just trying to see if I
   can get any changes at all in the child.css to show up in the site.
 * Here is a link to the child style.css so you can look.

 * I had cleared the cache. Next time, I will try an alternate browser as well to
   be sure. In any case, I really appreciate your help!
