    So here’s the problem I have. I wanted to be efficient and set all of my header tags to be the same font-family. So I used the code below. However it only appears to work when the multiple selector code is AFTER the single h2 code.

    If i place the multi-selector code BEFORE the h2 code then it ignores it completely. I’m pretty new to CSS so am sure there must be something easy that I’m missing. Here’s a link to the test page:

    http://www.jasonkoprowski.com/test/JK_Test.html

    I want the header to display using ‘Crimson Text’ font but seems to be defaulting to ‘Times New Roman’ (not even sure where it’s getting this from actually. It works find when i put the h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 code after but not before.

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
    font-family:”Crimson Text”, “Lucida Sans Unicode”,”Times New Roman”, serif;
    }

    h2 {
    color:#232323;
    font-style:normal;
    font-weight:500;
    letter-spacing:-1px;
    line-height:1.1em;
    margin:30px 0;
    text-align:center;
    font-size:42px;
    }

    To add even more to my confusion, when I added the code to Code Pen (http://codepen.io/anon/pen/EDpJg) it looks to be rendering correctly…so something wrong on my site?

    Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    i pasted in the entire CSS from my page and now the Codepen.io link isn’t working either when multi-selector code is before the h2 code.

    The problem is you don’t need the style element tag in external css files. Just delete the
    <style type=”text/css”>
    and
    < /style>

    and it should work fine.
