Does the theme have anything that is applying CSS styles to the same class as the logo, or does it have styles that apply to something very basic, like every DIV?

You can use a debugger to try and track down the cause. I use Opera, and it has one built in. If I go to Tools > Advanced > Developer Tools, it opens Opera Dragonfly. Then as I click on elements in the page, it shows me all of the CSS styles that are applying to that object. I can even add new properties or change the values real-time. This is a great way to see where any unexpected styles are coming from, or to play with how styles should be changed to fix a bug I'm experiencing.

Ah, I see.

Here is an example of "wrapping" everything:

<div id="page">(put the template body in here</div>

Then in your css, you would change a style like this

a {

to this

#page a {

So then the styles apply to all of the "a" tags inside of the page, rather than everywhere.

Thankyou! after trying 20 different combos i finally got it!

at first i coded everything in the css file but that made some other stuff go wrong XD so i kept guessing and finally got it :)

Thanks!
