Entry title color

[maxagain]

 I'm trying to color my posts orange, including the title using the following code but it doesn't seem to be working. The entry titles (which link to individual posts) are white, instead of orange. When I click on the link and go to the individual post page there the title is orange. Why can't I have the titles in orange on the main journal page? the ".entry-title a" tag doesn't seem to be working. What's the problem? Thanks.

.entry-title {
background:transparent;;
margin:0 10px;
color:#ff9900;
font:normal normal 900 1.7em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height:80%;
text-align:left; text-decoration:none; }

.entry-title a { color:#ff9900; font-weight:900; line-height:80%; text-decoration:none; }

.entry-title a:hover {color:#ff0000;}

.entry-text { text-align:justify; margin:0 10px 10px; padding-bottom:10px; color:#ff9900; }
