 * I am having a difficult time using css to get the sidebar menu li to change the
   font color. It seems like I can’t override the default css, even though I add!
   important. I can change font size, line-height, etc, but not font color for a,
   a:active, etc. Any suggestions?

 * Sorry for the delayed response, but for some reason I didn’t get notified of 
   this question.
 * As always, FireFox’s Firebug is very definitely your best friend in this sort
   of situation. But most modern browsers have perfectly adequate developer tools
   built-in nowadays, and any of them should be able to provide enough information
   for you to be able to tell which particular styles are being applied to any element.
   That should be enough for you to be able to dynamically add your own style in
   order to override colour (for example). Just adding !important is not always 
   enough, because you also have to consider the specificity of the rule you’re 
   applying, versus the specificity _and importance_ of the rule(s) already being
   applied.
 * If you have a live site I could look at – with guidance as to exactly what should
   be changed to what – then I could take a look?
