I presume you have included style.css? Assuming that it is in
public/stylesheets then you should have
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'style' %>
in the header. Check in View, Page Source to see if it is there and
looks correct. In the html it should reference /stylesheets/style.css
(with leading /).

Expand the td and select the div id=sidebar that should be there I
think. Then you should see the style from style.css
