    Default Font color Assistance Please

    I have tried and tried but would appreciate help with color. My page is here http://www.artforscrapbooking.com/in...index&cPath=77
    and I just want the title of the kits to be dark. Currently they are the same as my background color until they are visited. I understand the principles and editing the stylesheet just can't find these ones. I also want to make sure my edit only effects these Titles as because of my background colors changing the font colors has been a bit of an issue.

    I used a custom template which I pretty much changed everything on.

    In stylesheet.css, look for

    Code:
    a:link, #indexDefaultHeading {
    	color: #f0ddff;
    	}
    That's what's controlling the color. It appears to be controlling other items as well, so you may have to tinker with it to get it right.

    Thank you so much - I have that one fixed now. Could I ask one hopefully last question. On my homepage http://www.artforscrapbooking.com the text 'log yourself in' - I want to change the color after the link has been visited. Currently it appears to be #263d49. I know it should be defined as an a:visited but have searched and not found it. I truly appreciate your assistance.

    Get the Firefox browser with the web developer addon which allows you to tinker with the CSS and see the results immediately. You still have to save the changes and upload them to the site, but it makes finding and changing things in the stylesheet easier.

    I don't know why the link isn't changing color after being visited. The lines in red are the ones which should control that text.

    Code:
    a:visited, #indexDefaultHeading {
    	color: #b295cd;
    	}
    
    a:visited, #categoriesContent .sideBoxContent{
    	color: #263d49;
    	}
    a:link, #indexDefaultHeading {
    	color: #5a7f92;
    	}

    Thanks Mary - i have the web developer and have been using it after seeing it in another thread. It is an awesome tool. I am still learning how to use all its features but have found it to be extremely useful.
    It took a bit of lateral thinking but i finally worked out what controls that color. Thanks
