 * Hello,
 * I am trying to modify basic colors and small elements in a theme I purchased.
   I decided to try this using a child theme, but none of my css seems to be working.
 * I’m relatively new to WordPress, so I’m not sure if maybe I’m doing something
   wrong.
 * In particular, I’d like to change the gray boxed areas (especially on the bottom
   of the page) that appear throughout the theme.
 * For that particular area, I was using this code:
 * #exodus-footer-top { background-color: #f4ddaa; }
 * I’ve tried a number of css combinations and nothing seems to work.
 * The website appears at evangelephrata.com. Any insight that could be provided
   would be much appreciated.
