In your stylesheet you have the following:
body
{
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
background-color: orange;
}/*You later assigned background-color: silver to body. See comment below*/
h1, h2
{
font-weignt: normal;
}
blockquote
{
font-style: italic;
}
body
{
background-color: silver;
}/*This takes precedence*/
h1
{
font-size: 170%;
}
h2
{
font-size: 120%;
}

You first assigned background-color:orange to body. Then further down you assigned background-color:silver to body. This takes precedence. You should use hexadecimal values for colours also. It ensures better cross browser compliance.

I noticed that and changed that but no matter what I put in the external stylesheet, it doesn't change anything on the webpage.

This message is showing up:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~mjsmith/journal.css on this server.
If you are using hexadecimal colors you must have the hash symbol as here: #ff6600.
