Changing font color in sidebar

    Hi guys & gals

    My site is here: https://www.scaryinternet.com

    Trying to update the color of the font in my sidebar, specifically the line “Post to the Wall”. Note the Wall is a widget, but the Post To portion appears to be based on my primary stylesheet.css and nothing widget related.

    I found that if I edit this section here in my stylesheet.css that I can change the color, but it changes the color of other properties of my page too (the tags in my posts, for example):

    a{
    color:#999999;
    text-decoration:none;
    }

    Is there another place I can input a specific color for sidebar text?

  • ideally edit wp-walls.css and add:

    #wp_wall a { color:#123456; }  /* unvisited link */
#wp_wall a:visited { color:#345678; }  /* visited link */
#wp_wall a:hover { color:#6789ab; }  /* mouse over link */

    substitute your own color codes.

    you could also add it to style.css.

    other texts in the sidebar will have different styles.

    Thanks so much, that explains the coloring very well. I’m wondering if you can help me with something else. I would like the “post to the wall” link to highlight with a grey box, similar to how the two links up in my header do (submit something scary, subscribe via rss).

    I looked through my theme but can’t seem to find the line to reference that would create this box when mousing over “post to the wall”.

    something like this:

    #wp_wall a { color:#c00; padding:20px 5px; }
#wp_wall a:hover{color:#999;text-decoration:none;background:#444;}  /* mouse over link */

    adjust the numbers and colors as needed.
