    Please help. I am using the Marocco theme on my website http://www.magiclanternshooter.com i am a total noob to html, but i am brave enough to look into the css and try to change things.

    the posts to other pages within my site appear to be normal. posts that i LINK TO using the built in editor turn to WHITE TEXT
    ?????
    its almost like they are not even there.

    the links are active and working, but just cannot be seen. how do i fix this?

    this is my documentation:

    /*

    /*--------------------------------------------------------------
5.1 Links

/* unvisited link */
a:link {
color: #FF0000;
}

/* visited link */
a:visited {
color: #00FF00;
}

/* mouse over link */
a:hover {
color: #FF00FF;
}

/* selected link */

    Hi there. Happy to have a look at this for you; but can you edit your post above please to get rid of all that documentation?

    It’s unnecessary when all that’s required is an example on your site, and Chrome or Firefix to look at the source code and css.

    Also, I had a look at your site and I can see lots of “tags” in white text with a grey background, generated by color and background-color here in style.css:

    .post-tags a, .cat-tags a {
    float: left;
    padding: 1px 6px 3px 10px;
    background-color: #f4f4f4;
    color: #fff!important;
    text-decoration: none;
    margin: 0 25px 8px 0;
    position: relative;
    font-size: 13px;
    }

    But I can’t seem to see what you are referring to by “posts that i LINK TO”. The front page has posts that you link to, and they are all black text which turn light grey when you hover over them.

    So my initial suggestion would be to read up on css link styling: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_link.asp and then have a play with your style.css to achieve what you are after.

    Hope this helps…

    This is essential for anyone playing with their css files too:

    I use to use Firefox, but I find Chrome more to my liking these days for it’s element inspector.

    Your theme’s vendors will be able to tell you the best ways of making CSS modifications in their theme, you really should talk to them.
