 * Hello,
 * Having a bit of trouble customizing the tagline font color on my site. I pasted
   in the following code to the custom css tool in Customizr and nothing changes.
   Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!
 * Site is insuremytoy.unchainedseo.com
 * h2 {
    color:#FF0000; float:right; font-style:italic; line-height:19px; padding-
   right:5px; text-align:right;

 * You need a closing bracket: “}”. Also, I looked at the lines before that and 
   you need a closing bracket there too. It should be:
 *     ```
       h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
         color:#FF0000;
         font-family:inherit;
         font-weight:bold;
         line-height:20px;
         margin:10px 0;
         text-shadow:white 0 1px 0;
       }
        h2 {
         color:#FF0000;
         float:right;
         font-style:italic;
         line-height:19px;
         padding-right:5px;
         text-align:right;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks! That helps. Still having a bit of trouble though. I initially had the
   wrong code and discovered that below is the correct code to change the font color
   where I want. However, the font color will only change when I have the customizr
   menu drop downs open. When I save the updated code and visit the site, nothing
   has actually changed?
 * h2.site-description {
    color:#FF0000; font-size:18px; font-style:italic; line-
   height:20px; padding-top:0; }
 * I should mention that I did clear my cache. On Mac OSX 10.9 and using Chrome.

 * OK, the selector you need is:
 *     ```
       .navbar-wrapper .navbar h2 {
       color:#FF0000;
       font-size:18px;
       font-style:italic;
       line-height:20px;
       padding-top:0;
       }
       ```

 * That’s brilliant thank you. So I just needed that selector.
