    I was trying to change the colour of links and it didn’t work, I tried to put it back to normal but now my whole site is a mess! Someone help please!

    This is the first bit of my CSS:

    /*
    Theme Name: YGo Lively
    Theme URI: http://www.ygosearch.com/seoblog
    Description: 3 Column fluid CMS style wordpress theme – YGo Website with long tail. Give your users feel of a website on a blog
    Version: 1.0
    Author: Amitabh Shukla
    Author URI: http://www.ygosearch.com/seoblog
    */

    body {
    margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    padding:0px;
    font:12px/20px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    line-height:20px;
    background:#fff url(“”)
    repeat-x top left; }
    }

    a:link{
    text-decoration: none;)

    All I did was try to change the

    a:link{
    text-decoration: none;)

    to this:

    a:link{
    text-decoration: none;
    color:#333;
    }

    a:hover{
    text-decoration: underline;
    color: #333;
    }

    a:visited{
    text-decoration: none;
    color:#333;

    It didn’t work so I put back what I thought was there – is it wrong? (I didn’t save a copy but I’ve learned my lesson)

    Ok, someone else may beat me to this but here goes:

    Firstly…

    body {
margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding:0px;
font:12px/20px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height:20px;
background:#fff; <strong>put missing semi-colon here  and remove this bit --></strong> url("")
repeat-x top left; } <-- <strong>you have an extra curly bracket so you need to remove this too</strong>
}

    And…

    a:visited{
text-decoration: none;
color:#333;
} <--<strong>did you forget this curly bracket?</strong>

    Also, there is a correct order for link selectors as follows:

    a:link
    a:visited
    a:hover
    a:active

    If you use a different order your links may not hover correctly once they have been visited.

    Don’t know if this helps

    Ok, so you can’t use markup in code sections 🙁

    Is it not possible to edit posts here?

    Ah yes.. Found it now!

    Thankyou, my site is now looking normal at least! However the link colors have not changed…

    Try:

    a:link{
    text-decoration: none;
    color:#333;
    }

a:visited{
    text-decoration: none;
}
    a:hover{
    text-decoration: underline;
}

    If not, validate your CSS at http://www.jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and correct any erors, see if this helps.

    Still didn’t work, I’ll give the validator a try. Thanks!
