And I had a sudden thought about adding new elements! Can you try doing the following steps exactly:
1) Open up the web inspector 2) Click on the gear on the upper right in the Styles section of the sidebar 3) You will get a textbox in a bar with a blue background, with the name of the element / selector (so p, div, #canvas, something like that) 4) Press "tab" to confirm that this is the right element you want to add CSS for 5) Type in the new rule: "background-color: red;" or something like that
I was clicking around and I noticed it was way too easy to skip steps 3-4, and go straight to #5 from #2, which just makes the rule disappear without being applied, since it's not a selector, so I wonder if that's what's happening here!
