 * Hello, I am relatively new using CSS. I am trying to stylized a table in a page
   and I found that some of the CSS codes using customizer do not work. I don’t 
   know if I am coding wrong. For example, padding does not work and text-align 
   does not work. Here are the example codes. Do you know what I did wrong?
    th{
   border:3px solid green; padding:10px 10px; background:grey; color:white; text-
   transform:uppercase; height:4em; vertical-align:middle; }
 * td{
    text-align:center; font-size:20px; font-variant:petite-caps; color:blue;}
 * Also I would like to change the background color of this page and I don’t know
   how to do it.

 * Everything depends on your theme. Which are you using? We often cannot offer 
   specific CSS solutions unless we have a live link to the page in question.

 * I am using para.llel.us Salutation theme. You are right, I tested the same codes
   with twenty-seventeen and they worked.
    Why do you think different themes affect
   them? thanks, Myo

 * Different themes will have different rules in place to suit their theme, so it’s
   always helpful to learn how to use a web debugging tool like [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/)
   or [Chrome Developer Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/).
   That’s why bcworkz asked for a link to your site. We can examine your site to
   see how to override any existing rule by making your rule [more specific](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/07/css-specificity-things-you-should-know/).
