Cant change background colour on my Weebly website

Buncha Fives

Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated as I am a novice when it comes to code and web design.

I set up a website for a voluntary organisation recently and the background on the website is white I had hoped to change it to light red so I changed the code to - see below - however the background is still white has anyone got any idea what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance.



0/* BODY AND CONTAINER */

body {
background-colour: #CC3333;
}

Disclaimer: No idea how Weebly works but try these:

• First of all, get rid of that '0' in there before the comment.
  
• It should be background-color not background-colour. (Everything has American English spelling)
  
• The CSS file could also have a container that is in front of the body so look for container-like names and try them. Keep a copy of the CSS page in case you muck it up! Also, look for styling in divs/containers that contain background-color:#fff or #ffffff and change them to see if that fixes it.
  
• If none of these fix it, post up a copy of the whole CSS file.

Thanks, I changed the spelling of "color" and now the background is red in the preview (which it wasnt before) but when I go into the actual website its still white, dont know why it wont change over just like it is in the preview?
