  http://melodyninja.com, sapphire theme

  I would like the link in the post on the main page to be orange, like they are in all the pages. When I first switched to the sapphire theme, these links turned to gray, so I changed the color in the html, and that worked, until I clicked the links, then they turned back to gray again.
  I didn’t have this problem with the black letterhead theme, so maybe it’s just an issue with the sapphire theme. Also, I tried another post with links, and had the same problem, so it looks like an issue just with the posts, and not with the pages.

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

  It depends on the theme. Some have different colors defined for all four different link states and some do not. These are the four states that can be defined for links in the CSS:

  a:link (link has not been clicked and mouse pointer is not over it)
  a:hover (mouse pointer over link but link has not been clicked)
  a:visited (link has been clicked and visited by browser/reader)
  a:active (the moment the link is actually clicked)

  Anywhere from none to all can be used and defined in the CSS.

  Stupid question time: does that mean I can’t change the colors without buying the CSS editing upgrade, and (barring that) I have to just live with them being broken or change my theme? Or can I actually change these in the html editor? I would just go ahead and try editing the html, but I can’t find what the code would look like or where to put it (I’m just learning this stuff).
