• Greetings all! I had tried to get time saving help else where on here on how to change the default size,default color and the hover color of the links that appear in the WP Default v1.5 sidebar, however, knowing that the pros of WP are busy with their pet projects I did the next thing:

    I burned the mid-night oil…ehemm..not…and figured it out. So for anyone else that may be new and wondering how to do the same the following worked for me:

    I opened up the style.css found in the wp-content / themes / default / …directory and edited the following:

    1)For the default font size find the following and edit the bolded entry to whatever size you want:

    #sidebar {
    font: 1.1em ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    }

    2) For the default color find the following and in the bolded line insert your favorite color:

    a, h2 a:hover, h3 a:hover {
    color: #4169E1;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    3) And finally for the color that the link changes to when the mouse rolls over it, look for and insert your favorite color in the bolded line:

    a:hover {
    color: #0000FF;</stong>
    text-decoration: underline;
    }

    If you would like to see a nice variety of colors that you can use including their hex numbers check out the following:

    Hope that helps and happy blogging!

    Huh? What da blog did I do? </stong>?…Where did I come up with that one? Sorry about the little coding blunder above in number 3…maybe I should stop burning so much mid-night oil and try sleeping more. Anyhow, number 3 should of looked like this:

    a:hover {
    color: #0000FF;
    text-decoration: underline;
    }

    Again just insert your favorite color in the bolded line.

    Good night!
