Changing default style for core functions

    Hello.

    I am using wordpress on my page. My template uses a CSS that styles all links “a” tags in black color #000000

    I need that, when writting a new post, if I create a link it appears red instead of black.

    So first I tried to edit CSS (from the WP menu) and change all “a” CSS to red. But this change all links in the template.

    I was wondering how can I set a default style for a specific html tag when creating a new post. I know I can manually, when creating a post, change the class of the “a” tag, but it’s not very a good solution, because each time I create a link, I need to change the class (time consuming) and also I can forget to do it.

    How can I change it, without changing the whole template style?

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

    Hi there,
    This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

    WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins and also run some different version of themes with the same names http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

    You can do this by adding CSS with the right selector (based on your theme’s HTML structure). It looks like http://www.wakesound.com/ is using WordPress but it is not hosted here at WordPress.com, so I would recommend using the Custom CSS module in the Jetpack plugin in your case—it will let you add CSS to a WordPress.org theme without modifying the theme code.

    timethief gave you the correct URL to ask for help: http://wordpress.org/support/ When you ask for help there, it would be helpful to them to include a link to an example page where someone can see a link that you’re trying to change.

    Or if you would like to hire help, you can ask at http://en.support.wordpress.com/customize-my-site/request-theme-customization/
