title: External CSS: Body Background Color Won't Change
body: <p>I cannot get my body background color to change on my Bootstrap 3 site. Here is a snippet from my external CSS file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>body {
  font-family: 'Lato', arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  font-weight: 300;
  color: #2e2e2e;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried the following with no joy:</p>
  
  <pre><code>body {
  background-color: #0aff0a;
  font-family: 'Lato', arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  font-weight: 300;
  color: #2e2e2e;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>- AND -</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>body {
  background-color: #0aff0a !important;
  font-family: 'Lato', arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  font-weight: 300;
  color: #2e2e2e;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>- Also -</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>body {background: #0aff0a}
  font-family: 'Lato', arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  font-weight: 300;
  color: #2e2e2e;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>- AND -</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>body {background-color: #0aff0a}
  font-family: 'Lato', arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  font-weight: 300;
  color: #2e2e2e;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All of the above codes test perfectly fine on fiddlesalad. </p>
  
  <p>I have even tried adding the following directly to my html file's head:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style&gt;
  body {
  background-color: #0aff0a !important;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I remove the reference to my CSS file and leave that in my html file's head, the background color changes. So, obviously there must be something overriding the body background color in my CSS file? I sure can't find it!</p>
  
  <p>There is not any internal CSS on my pages that could be overriding it and my stylesheet is referenced properly and working fine. I have tried clearing my cache and i've tried viewing in multiple browsers...</p>
  
  <p>Here is a link to the site i'm working on: <a href="http://www.sinisterserpents.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sinister Serpents</a></p>
  
  <p>Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
