Assigning property values, Cascading, and Inheritance

Yay!

I finally had occaission today to use a !important flag in one of my CSS rules.

W3 CSS spec, on rules flagged important:

an "!important" declaration (the keywords "!"
and "important" follow the declaration) takes precedence over a normal
declaration. Both author and user style sheets may contain
"!important" declarations, and user "!important" rules override author
"!important" rules.

I was fixing some styles in one of my blogs, and one line was having no effect.

I added !important at the end of one of the properties in the rule, and that fixed the problem.
