• Every time I try to customise the theme to my own liking I end up with a blank page as you can see here – http://www.annajane.co.nr

    I can’t really understand where I’m going wrong… it’s probably something really obvious and stupid but bear in mind it’s been a few years since I last tried my hand at coding websites!

    So here’s the stylesheet:

    /* General CSS **************************************************************************/
    
    * { border:0; margin:0; padding:0 }
    body { font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size:12px; line-height:1.5; background:#fe02af; }
    h1, h2.alternateH1 { font-size:18px; padding:3px 0; color:#153a6c; }
    h2 { font-size:16px; }
    h3 { font-size:14px; }
    .clear { clear:both; font-size:0px; height:0; overflow:hidden; width:2px; }
    li { list-style-type:none }
    input, textarea, select { border:1px solid #ccd; padding:2px }
    th { text-align:left; padding:5px }
    /* ---------------------------------------------------------- */
