 * Hiya I’ve tried uploading my own css file and linking it accordingly in the header.
   php. But none of my css seems to be working. I’m only trying to change the link
   colors. Any ideas????
 * Thank you

 * Are you using a Child Theme?
    Did you enqueue the stylesheet? Are you using specific
   enough selectors? Do you have a syntax error in your stylesheet? Can you link
   your site?

 * Thank you for your reply,
 * In the editor section I don’t see anything called Child Theme.
    I’m not sure 
   I understand what you mean by enqueue the stylesheet? I added the css to the 
   header.php below the other 2 <links/>:
 * <link rel=”profile” href=”[http://gmpg.org/xfn/11&#8243](http://gmpg.org/xfn/11&#8243);/
   >
    <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘pingback_url’ ); ?>” /> <link 
   rel=”stylesheet” href=”wp-includes/css/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen,
   projection” />
 * I’m sorry I don’t understand what you mean by specific selectors either. I’m 
   a bit of a noob.
 * The syntax to the stylesheet is here (I tried to make 2 classes to test it:
    
   a.pagelink:link { color: #FFFFCE; text-decoration: none; } a.pagelink:visited{
   color: #FFFFCE; text-decoration: none; } a.pagelink:active { color: #CCFFCC; 
   text-decoration: none; } a.pagelink:hover { color: #FFFF63; text-decoration: 
   none; }
 * .MyLink { COLOR: #444444; TEXT-DECORATION: none;}
    .MyLink:hover { TEXT-DECORATION:
   underline; }

 * I recommend to use a plugin to hold and manage your CSS modifications – separate
   to the theme. There’s an issue with modifying the theme’s files and that is when
   the theme updates your changes will be erased 🙁
 * Try this plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)

 * Hi, yandoos,
 * wp-includes folder belongs to WordPress core, so this is not a good idea…
 * Having in mind your current experience, I would also suggest you to use that 
   custom CSS plugin.
 * Child theme is located in Tiny Forge theme’s /inc folder – look for the zip file.
   Read Tiny Forge readme.txt for more info on child theme implementation 😉

 * Thank you very much indeed its working brilliantly!
 * I am using the css plugin and its very simply now.. I pretty much love the original
   design of the website as it is. It was just the link color I wanted to change.
 * Thank you all for replying and your support.
 * Tom – very grateful and happy 😀
