Applying h1 style in home.php

[PeterV]

Hello!

First time poster on this forum. I tried to look for an answer to my problem, but I think I am having trouble articulating it, much less using the right search terms for it...

This is what the relevant bit of my home.php looks like:

<div id="content">
<div id="homepage">
<<h1>Do you want to attract more clients?</h1>

The h1 style takes its settings from the "content" section in the stylesheet, which for me looks like this:

#content h1 {
color: #E86316;
font-size: 22px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px;
padding: 10px 0px 0px 0px;
line-height: 28px;
}


I want to make the h1 style larger. However manipulating the font-size in "content h1" also changes the blog post titles, which I don't want.

So, I figured that I could add a style "homepage h1" under "homepage" to create the effect I want. So, I created this section:

#homepage h1 {
color: #E86316;
font-size: 32px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px;
padding: 10px 0px 0px 0px;
line-height: 36px;
}

Unfortunately, this has not changed a thing. Shouldn't "homepage", being a descendant of "content", take precedence?
Perplexing for a customization newbie like me....

Thanks to anyone who can give me a hint.
