 * So I wanted to make my name on my blog red. I added this into style.css
 *     ```
       a[href="/author/admin"]{
       color: red;
       }
       <a href="/author/admin">ItsGreg</a>
       ```
   
 * I uploaded it to my server, and my name was red.
    So, since i’m not the only 
   admin, I wanted to change my friend’s name to red as well. So I just copied the
   css, pasted it under the one I already had, and changed the link and name, but
   only my name was red. So I deleted my name from it, and pased it under the other
   admin’s name, then only his name was red.. How to I make both of our names red?
   Or, how to I make our names different, like mine green and his blue?

 * looks like you are going about things a bit wrong….. in your css you only include
   styling for elements.
 * like
 *     ```
       a {
       	color: red;
       	text-decoration:none
       	}
       ```
   
 * any links like `<a href="/author/admin">ItsGreg</a>` go in your theme’s php file(
   although your link is not formed properly)
 * I think you may need to read up a bit on themes, and css. But for specific help
   we need a link to your site.
 * a lot of themes have a section like this in index.php:
    `<div class="author">
   Posted by <?php the_author(); ?></div>`
 * that controls display of the authors name on a post
 * the div part calls to your css
    you can then style the div in your css like:
 *     ```
       .author {
          color: red;
        }
       ```

 * It looks like your author link is wrapped in a <p> with a class of author, so
   try this:
 *     ```
       p.author a,
       p.author a:link,
       p.author a:active,
       p.author a:visited { color:red; }
       ```

 * again, it changes everyone’s name to red. I don’t want that. I only want mine
   and another admins red.
