  Hi,
  I changed my link color in the css (blaskan theme) but it’s not showing up as the same color throughout my site – amaridesplays.com. in the right column where i have widgets, some of the links are a darker blue. any suggestions?

  Here’s what I added to the CSS:
  .type-post footer, .type-attachment footer {
  border-top: 1px dashed #CCCCCC;
  clear: both;
  color: #999999;
  display: none;
  font-size: 12px;
  margin: 20px 0 0;
  padding: 5px 0 10px;
  }

  body {
  }

  h1 {
  font-size: 2em;
  }

  h2 {
  font-family: proxima nova, sans-serif;
  font-size: .3em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  }

  strong {
  font-style: italic;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  }

  a:link {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #08a0c9;
  }

  a:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #08a0c9;
  }

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

  I haven’t looked too closely, but I’m guessing that the darker blue links are visited links. This is a useful visual cue to help visitors identify which links they’ve already seen.

  If you want to override, add a:visited to your links style, like this:

  a:link, a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #08a0c9;
}

  Hi Roberto, your question is about a site using a theme other than Blaskan (like the question above). In the future, can you please create a separate help request if your question is about a different theme?

  To change the basic link color in the Mixfolio theme, add the following to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor and click the Preview button to see how it will look:

  a {
  	color:#B7A3A3
  }
