 * OK, I’m sure the answer to this is staring in me in the face, as always, but 
   I can’t see it.
 * I set up a contact form at [http://www.a-splode.net/?page_id=21](http://www.a-splode.net/?page_id=21),
   but the CSS I wrote for the textarea and input tags isn’t working. Why?

 * Just an idea: try putting ‘form’ in the css:
 * #fb form textarea { … }
 * or just form textarea { … }

 * The form itself works fine, but it’s plain. It’s supposed to be all pretty and
   pink. But here’s the CSS anyway:
 * #fb form input{
    background-color:#FFFFFF; font-family:verdana,sans-serif; font-
   size:8pt; padding:4px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#FFB2DF;}
 * #fb form textarea{
    background-color:#FFFFFF; font-family:verdana,sans-serif;
   font-size:8pt; padding:4px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#
   FFB2DF; }

 * you can make it more pink changing the background color
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
   from white to #FFB2DF
 * And maybe change the border-color:#FFB2DF; to a stronger pink color

 * I didn’t make myself clear enough… I meant that the CSS that I wrote to make 
   the form nicer wasn’t working, and all I was seeing was the plain form. The script
   itself works like a charm. I just hate bare-bones stuff in my layout.
 * LOL Darcie, the border pink is strong enough and the CSS is not working at all.

   not pink. The CSS is just not working at all.
