Can someone explain why my blog post color choice doesn't work?
I chose #990000 (dark red/burgundy), but #660000 (navy blue) shows up. I deleted the font-color code for the post header, and it defaulted to black.

What have I done wrong?

Here's the code Problem area is in bold:

<head>
<title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>

<$BlogMetaData$>

<style type="text/css">
