  In my category archives, the link to “Older Posts” is pretty much invisible against my custom background, so I wanted to change the color. I tried throwing everything against the wall on this one because I wasn’t sure if it was showing as the “visited” color or not. Here’s the most extensive code I tried:

  .footer, .left a, .right a, .left a:visited, .right a:visited, .footer a, .footer a:visited {
  	color: rgb(255,255,0);
  }

  Nothing changed.

  In my currently enabled custom CSS, I do have this entry:

  a, a:visited {
  	color: rgb(0,0,0);
  }

  Might that be causing some interference? And if so, how do I get “Older Posts” to appear in a different color from the other visited links? (My custom background is very dark but my main content box and sidebar are lime green, so it’s hard to find a color that will be visible on both.)

  I’m also not averse to creating a tiny background image to put behind “Older Posts” if that would be an effective workaround. However, I’m not quite sure how to do that.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello,
  try adding the !important declaration to your code:

  .footer, .left a, .right a, .left a:visited, .right a:visited, .footer a, .footer a:visited {
  	color: rgb(255,255,0) !important;
  }
