Six weeks of trying to fix underlines, menu and grey text

    I have been trying to fix 3 small but irritating items on my blog for many weeks now. I’ve read and tried every previous post where others have been offered solutions, but none of them work. Can anyone help? Please?

    I have posted a screenshot here to show the 3 items I am referring to below. They are all on my blog home page.
    I have also posted the pic and the stylesheet code as a post on the site

    I use WP 3.1.4
    I use the TwentyTen style.

    1. I cannot edit these menu items because the menu is greyed out on the Appearance page.

    2. How do I remove these underlines? I want them to behave exactly as the widgets do. Underline only when hovered.

    3. How do I change this grey text colour? I know it is #888 and I think I have removed all occurrences of #888, but these won’t change.

    Thanks in advance for taking the time.

    Im not sure what you mean in regards to selected item 1, but hopefully i can help with the rest:

    2: Go to line 727 of your style sheet and look for the following code:

    .entry-meta a, .entry-utility a{
color: #81007F;
}

    Now change it to:

    .entry-meta a, .entry-utility a{
color: #81007F;
text-decoration:none;
}

    3: Go to line 228 of your style sheet and look for the following code:

    body, input, textarea{
color:#666666;
font-size:12px;
line-height:18px;
}

    Now change it to:

    body, input, textarea{
color:#81007F;
font-size:12px;
line-height:18px;
}

    Hope this is usefull to you.

    Many, many thanks for your help. Items 2 + 3 now fixed. (finally)

    Regarding the first item. I was able to create a menu, put two items in it (Back to main site & Back to blog home page) now I cannot edit it at all because it is greyed out. See pic here.

    I discovered the problem, or rather the fix, for this issue. I added AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php to the htaccess file. Perfect result. It also unexpectedly fixed another issue, the Screen Option link did not work. Happy days.

    Once again. I thank you for your help.

    Hi Tony,

    Glad to hear I could help & that you sorted out the first problem yourself.

    If you use Firefox (or Safari) I would recommend downloading FireBug which is a plugin which allows you to highlight areas of your site and view the CSS, you can also make changes (temporary) using Firebug to allow you to see if your changing the correct bit of code, it also tells you what line of your CSS file the relevent code is on <- this is very helpful if you have a large file.
