Hi ThemeTricks,
Your response makes sense, but as a novice I'm not sure how to use !important tags or wrap it in style tags.
What I'm doing is embedding code from mailchimp, into weebly:
<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<div id=“mailchimp”>
<form action=//personal stuff//>
<div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll">
<h2>Subscribe to our mailing list</h2>
<input type="email" size="30" value="Enter your email" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value=this.defaultValue;">
<div id="mce-responses" class="clear">
<div class="response" id="mce-error-response" style="display:none"></div>
<div class="response" id="mce-success-response" style="display:none"></div>
</div>
<div class="clear">
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button">
</div>
</form>
</div>
<!--End mc_embed_signup-->
This works great, but now I want to edit the style of the fields, which the article I'm using (http://uhurunetwork.com/customizing-mailchimp-form-design/) provides the code for:
#mailchimp {
background: #f8f8f8;
color: #3D6392;
padding: 20px 15px;
}
#mailchimp input {
border: medium none;
color: gray;
font-family: times new roman;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: italic;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 8px 10px;
width: 300px;
border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
}
#mailchimp input.email { background: #fff }
#mailchimp input.name { background: #fff}
#mailchimp input[type="submit"] {
background: #115B87;
color: #fff;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 15px;
width: 35%;
padding: 8px 0;
}
#mailchimp input[type="submit"]:hover { color: #F2C94C }
I've tried putting this at the bottom of the main_style file in the CSS editor and adjusting the parameters but it seems to have no affect. Do you know if I'm putting the above code in the wrong location or if it's not written properly so not linking to the embedded code?
Thank you!

It took a close look at the code to realize what was happening. Everything started working great the minute I replaced the quotes.
