New to backdrop, found it by accident - glad I did as it all looks very promising and tidy.

I've made a new menu and put it in the footer, now all I'm trying to do is style it but when I add .block-content to layout.css it doesn't load. Have cleaered the cache, is there something I'm missing? I'm editing the core basis theme as I've no idea how to copy a theme.

Welcome to Backdrop...  

Glad you found us... 

I now use a module called CSS Injector... it's a lot easier to add CSS via the UI.

You may need to target the block better...

Which theme are you using?

In the Layout and the block you are using, you can add a style Class...

Call it footermenu for example...

You can then target the said menu...

 

and in CSS Injector add...

.footermenu {
    font-size: 2em;
}

Etc...

I'll try css injector thanks. Using basis, it's just strange how adding css doesn't work, I guess it's a security thing.

Did you create a sub-theme and then alter the CSS?

If you modified the theme's CSS then that's not the best way.

CSS injector will work.

Editing core basis theme, it looks easy enough to copy basis without needing to rename every file. Styling block-content with skin.css works, in fact it works in layout.css. Not sure what I was doing wrong before, bizarre!! The only difference this time is that I cleared css and js specifically. You can delete this topic if you like.
