As Geoff said chechk that you have the following line in ALL your html
pages

<link rel="STYLESHEET" href="Your_css_sheet_name_here.css" type="text/css"
/>

And make sure that the sheet is in the same directory as your html pages.

Or change the href path to where you have your css sheet located.

If you still have trouble take a look at this page.
