Hi, I'm working on breakdownshow.com and I am stumped on adding a dotted line after every post.
Tried div.post {border-bottom: 1px dotted #ed008c;} and .tags{border-bottom:1px dotted #ed008c;}
I want to target the post footer but .post#footer doesn't work either. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Luke
//mod edit: When posting a link, be sure to include the protocol prefix, i.e. "http://", else it is interpreted as a relative link within the CSSC site. Fixed ~gt

It's rendering as an <article>
So you could use that like
article { border-bottom:1px dotted #333; }
I can't see why .post didn't work.

Thanks Tony. I tried both
article &
article .post
but neither worked.
This theme Blaskan has been really hard to child theme, I've started just editing the orignal blaskan theme itself, but the border's aren't working-- is there another place besides the style sheet I could insert the border..?

Are you sure that stylesheet
Are you sure that stylesheet is getting used?
You have a style tag in the head of the page you could try that.
What's the path and name of the stylesheet

I seem to have no trouble
I seem to have no trouble adding a new ruleset on '.post', 'body .post', 'article.post' there are such minimal rules that I can't really see any issues adding new, everything looks as though it ought to work as has been described.

The stylesheet is within the
The stylesheet is within the child theme: /public_html/breakdown/wp-content/themes/breakdownchild/style.css. I've got an @import to the Blaskan parent-theme style sheet which is also in the /themes folder.
I tried adding : body .post, article.post {border: 1px #ed008c dotted;} at the bottom of the child-theme stylesheet, and then also the parent theme style sheet and neither worked...
Tony, I don't know how to get to the style tag, it's not in my header.php file... Any other ideas? Thanks so much for your help

Have you tried using the css
Have you tried using the css override "!important;" to the child style. This will force the site to use your child style no matter where it falls in the cascade (as long as the site is in fact using the child theme of course)
Example:
.post, article.post {border: 1px #ed008c dotted !important;}
