Hi everyone,

I’m now working with Kubrick for my blog, http://uncglobalhealth.wordpress.com. I cannot figure out how to have one color for links/hover/visted in the main body (posts), and a different one for the sidebar. the way the CSS is written they’re changed together, and i can’t figure out the syntax to separate them out. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

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

That is because they are all controlled together in the CSS. Kubrick is a quagmire when it comes to CSS and my suggestion would be to customize something like K2 or Contempt which are much easier to work with. Both look similar in design to Kubrick.

You could also try using the ‘Kubrick for Sandbox’ CSS here. It’s a whole lot easier to work with than real Kubrick.

Oy, ok. Any suggestions for an easy way to keep my color scheme with the new theme/css?

CSS is different for each theme, so much of your CSS will probably NOT apply to any new theme, and probably not to the Kubrick skin for sandbox, but then I’ve never compared the Kubrick skin CSS to the original Kubrick.

Ok, I applied the Kubrick skin and lost my two columns. HOw is that possible?

Sorry, didn’t lose the sidebar column, but it appears way down at the bottom, instead of flush with the left column

Hard to say for certain without seeing the blog, but it sounds like you may have an image that’s too wide or an incomplete tag in a post.

Looks fine to me. The sidebar is on the left.

yeah, I’m losing track of my changes. I don’t think I’m skilled enough to deal with this.

Take a break and come back to it. I find that coding is easiest done in small chunks, rather than trying to get everything right all at once. It looks fine at the moment.

Ok, I decided to go back and just deal with Kubrick. I had saved the CSS I started with today. How come when I paste it in and preview it, it doesn’t look the same? What am I doing wrong?
