   Hi, All--

   First off, thanks for Thematic and for all of the amazingly helpful comments and discussion. Searching the forums has helped me resolve a *huge* number of issues in my first foray into child theming. I've hit a sticking point, though: I can't seem to figure out how to "highlight" a post title with a background color (I'm assuming they're in a container of some kind, based on the extremely helpful diagram at http://bluemandala.com/thematic/thematic-structure.html). My attempt is below, which gets me nothing. I'm sure there's something I'm not getting about the correct approach to take here, but I can figure out what it is! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

   .entry-title {
       font-family:Arial,sans-serif;
       font-size:26px;
       font-weight:bold;
       line-height:26px;
       padding:0 0 7px 0;
       background-color:ffff33;
   }

   you are missing a # in your color declaration. your style will highlight every post title... but you could control which ones you actually want w/ body classes.

   .entry-title {
   background-color: #ffff33;
   }

   versus

   .home .entry-title {
   background-color: #ffff33;
   }

   which would only only apply the highlight to your blog index home.

   Thanks helga! Despite the unfortunate lack of debugging (whoops), I tried with the correct declaration with no change. Though, it did start to work when I separated this particular declaration from the others like so:

   .entry-title {
   background-color: #ffff33;
   }

   rather than

   .entry-title {
       font-family:Arial,sans-serif;
       font-size:26px;
       font-weight:bold;
       line-height:26px;
       padding:0 0 7px 0;
       background-color:ffff33;
   }

   I don't completely understand it, but I'm not arguing with the results!

   Thanks again!!!

   umm... yeah i don't know.

   .entry-title {
       font-family:Arial,sans-serif;
       font-size:26px;
       font-weight:bold;
       line-height:26px;
       padding:0 0 7px 0;
       background-color: #ffff33;
   }

   ought to work. how about:

   .entry-title {
       font-family:Arial,sans-serif;
       font-size:26px;
       font-weight:bold;
       line-height:26px;
       padding:0 0 7px 0;
       background: #ffff33;
   }
