I believe what you are looking for is to go into wp-admin/wp-admin.css and change/add

#editorcontainer { your settings }

#editorcontainer is the wrapper around the textarea in post-new.php and post.php, and #editorcontainer #content is the textarea.

Don’t know if that space between url and ( are causing the problem.

Otherwise try add the stylesheet outside of the CSS file in the header.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/mycss.css” type=”text/css” media=”all” />

And try add !important at the end of the lines to see if it’s a problem of hierarchy.

body { background:red !important; }

Change

align="alignleft

to

class="alignleft"

Well I don’t know how the theme is designed, but tried adding the search-widget to the sidebar on the Widget page?

As I understand it (and it’s a bit confusing) you want to style the text-part of posts on your front page, but each one individually to each post?

If that is so, then it’s quite easy.

The code inside the wrapping DIV is actually printing all the info for you. This…

<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

…turns into this:

<div class="post-4004 post hentry category-blog tag-theme" id="post-4004">

It gives the DIV an individual id, individual class, and a class for categories and tags. So all you need to do to style the text for <random post #4004> is this:

First add a wrapper around the text in each post:

<div class="post-text"><?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?></div>

And then add something like this in CSS:

.post-4004 .post-text { color:red; }

And it will change the text part on post with ID 4004 to red.

Huh, well that’s strange. It’s probably a obvious thing somewhere but hell if I can find it, don’t envy you this problem.

But as they say: if you can’t solve it with brute force, try more brute force.

.post {
border:solid 1px #000000 !important;
margin: 10px !important;
padding: 10px !important;
}

Increase these padding numbers. They are top, right, bottom, left.

.post .content {
	padding:5px 0 5px 5px;
	line-height:145%;
	overflow:hidden;
}
