Have you uploaded the css file into the same directory as this page?

>body { color: #C0C0C0;
> background-color: #000000;
> text-align: left;
> font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", "sans-serif", "Tahoma" ;
>font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; font-variant: normal}

Should look something like this:
body { color: #C0C0C0; background-color: #000000; text-align: left;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Tahoma;  font-style:
normal; font-weight: 400; font-variant: normal }

Use a single space between the style rules and the opening and *closing*
braces. Also, I'm not sure if the quotes around the typefaces are
stopping anything, but my references do not show quotes being used.

p.s. There is a list for css:

better.
