I'm using a similar CSS rule that adds a green bar on the left hand side of readmored content. Note that I'm using a black background with bright grey text – the color might not work well on a bright background.

div.readmore { background-color: transparent; padding-left: 2px; borde
+r-left-width: 2px; border-left-color: #080; border-left-style: solid 
+}

Here's a readmore and a snapshot of my whole user CSS.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
