Fresh Curls on "Changing the footer colour. Steps or Code?"

Hi again,

In Custom CSS Manager Plugin Settings I entered the code above:

#footer_section { background: deepskyblue; }

and pressed save.

I cleared the cache. The footer color remained the same.

So I went to the site Andrew recommended:

http://www.w3schools.com

and picked a color from their list of choices, a pink. It had its own code so I put that in like this:

#footer_section { background: FF00FF; }

I pressed save, cleared cache and yet there was no footer color change.

What should I try next?

Thank you.
