  Hi. I changed themes on my blog and noticed that on the last section, “References” that most of the text has gone from white to nearly black.

  I have custom CSS and would like to change the text to match the rest of the pages. Can someone help me with the code?

  Thanks!

  This has nothing to do with the CSS editor, it has to do with you introducing wrong code in the post editor (probably because you copypasted the content from Word or something like that). You need to switch the editor to Text (=code) and remove all of these:
  <span style=ETC ETC>
  and all of these:
  </span>

  OK. Thanks for the help. Now that I think about it, I did cut and paste that list into the blog.

  As soon as I get some time I will do what you suggest.

  Thanks again.

  You’re welcome.
  Never copypaste from sources such as Word into the Visual editor: it introduces wrong code that messes things up. If you have to copypaste, paste into the Text editor or via the Paste from Word tool.
