    Hi there I'm following this post http://bit.ly/1twZ2Kr and added the content boxes code which was working. I then went back to change the hex codes to make the colours coordinate with the brand and I & added new css to make orange but it completely stopped working? Any ideas?

    many thanks.

    When changing the css you may have left out ; or a closing bracket } On which page are your content boxes?

    JUst as I thought a typo in the css, I found this line
    background-color: #ea8d00 border: 1px solid #f7921c;

    It should be:
    background-color: #ea8d00;
    border: 1px solid #f7921c;

    See what I mean about a missing ; } or : typos happen easily. The css cannot understand background-color because there is no ; to end the statement. You will need to correct all the instances of your colored boxes.

    Hi, thanks for spotting that! It has resolved the issue of adding the orange text box to the css, but none of the other colors are appearing yet.

    Would you have any more insights?

    Like I said in my post, that is just one of the lines you have to correct. The other content boxes have the same error.
