 * Hi,
 * I started using iconic one themes for my blog [http://junglebytes.org](http://junglebytes.org).
   I post lot of programming codes in my posts with
 *  tags. I want to cutomize the pre tag so that it has a dark background and white
   text. I updated theme’s style.css and could not get it working.
 * Anyone has any thoughts on how to do it please?
 * Thanks

 * Paste this in custom.css
 *     ```
       .entry-content pre {
           background:#333333;
           color: #FFFFFF;
       }
       ```
