title: CSS not being applied to body, h1, etc
body: <p>I'm just starting out a new website and for some reason it seems as if my css is not being applied to my elements that do not begin with '#' or '.'; This is probably just a simple mistake that I'm making, but nothing I do seems to be working. </p>
  
  <p>Here's my CSS:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false">
