  Hello,
  I could please use some help changing the color of the borders under the text in the widgets on the right on my blog. I need help finding the right place in the stylesheet (I’ve been looking for day, but just can’t find the place in my stylesheet!!) and help writing the right code. I have my CSS in advanced, so no add-ons please. I’m new to CSS, so please be very specific :) I want to use this color “#463242”

  Thanks so much!

  Best, Denice

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  .widget ul li a:link, .widget ul li a:visited {
      border-color: #463242;
  }
  #container .widget_categories li {
      border-bottom: 1px solid #463242;
  }

  PS If you’re new to CSS, then using the advanced instead of the add-on mode is a serious mistake.

  Thanks, it worked by just changing “color” with “border-color”.

  I’m very new to CSS and I actually first tried using add-ons, but it just never worked for me. I have more luck when I try in advanced mode :)

  Thanks again!

  I’m interested in why. Was it difficult for you to find the CSS you needed? Do you know how to use browser tools to find CSS (i.e. right-click and select the “Inspect Element” option)? What else would make this easier for you as you get started?
