Hi. I'm trying to create a subtheme from Genesis, and I copied all their subtheme materials, did everything it said to do,etc. But when i alter my new css file (newname.css) and upload it, no matter what alterations i make they NEVER appear on my website. It just stays completely the same. I can't get any borders, colors, etc. to appear. I've tried emptying the cache. What could i be doing wrong?

thanks

Tripple check everything again, you have most likely made a simple mistake somewhere - such as a spelling mistake either in the .info file or with the name of the css file.

Are you sure your new css file is in the correct directory on the server (inside your new subtheme folder), are you sure its even uploading?

Can you see the css file being loaded by Drupal - view source on the page, you should see something like this in the header - it should be the last stylesheet to load:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/sites/all/themes/my_subtheme/newname.css" />

If your stylesheet is not loading you have made an error.
