Possible to change my link color in Contempt?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m using the Contempt style sheet, and am trying to change the color of links that have been visited to a purple instead of a light pink. I have tried editing the CSS sheet but am not sure how to do so exactly. I think it is one of these lines:

    h1,h1 a,h1 a:hover,h1 a:visited,.description {
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#990;
    }

    h2,h2 a,h2 a:visited,h3,h3 a,h3 a:visited {
    color:#333;
    }

    h2,h2 a,h2 a:hover,h2 a:visited,h3,h3 a,h3 a:hover,h3 a:visited,#sidebar h2,#wp-calendar caption,cite {
    text-decoration:none;
    }

    Oh and my blog is the following: http://natalializon.wordpress.com/

    Thank you!

    Have you purchased the CSS upgrade?

    That’s correct. You will need to purchase the Custom CSS upgrade in order to have the CSS changes you entered show up on your site. More information about that upgrade can be found here:

    In the meantime you can try out CSS changes by clicking the “Preview” button below the editing window to see how your changes look.

    I’ve been looking for similar information, but without all the very foreign bits of code, since I have no idea what this css thing is!

    I am currently just setting up my blog still (http://bearhandsholistic.wordpress.com/) and haven’t fully decided on my theme.

    At some point, and I don’t know when, or if it was in a different theme perhaps, I found some lovely little button that let me choose which colours I wanted my links/visited to be in. Now I can’t find it! Do you know if this is always available, or just in select themes? If it is available, where would I find it?

    Thank you kindly,
    Dinah

    ooh, I just saw the little tag on the sidebar there, and followed some more threads, and I may have found a non-technical solution involving highlighting colours and then linking. I will go try that…

    seems to work except that it still underlines in purple…I guess I can live with that for now, but if you have any suggestions that don’t involve a remote understanding of the internal workings of a computer, I am totally open :)

    This might work:
    <a style="text-decoration: none;" href="URL_HERE/"><span style="color: #33cccc;">LINK_TEXT</span></a>

    In MistyLook this code works fine:
    <a style="color:#xxxxxx;" href="http://-------/">LINK TEXT</a>
    I suppose that in Contempt must also work.

    The HTML with the color style attribute, when used in a post, page or text widget, will work in all themes.
