 * Hello all, I am building a site and only using pages. I want to have links to
   pages without a parent, to have one look and links to pages with a parent to 
   have another. Which styles to I edit? I have tried all of the sidebar styles 
   and I am not having any luck. You can see the site here: [http://test.centerforhumanservices.org](http://test.centerforhumanservices.org)
   
   Any help will much appreciated.

 * As you create a page (any page) WP in admin gives you a chance to associate that
   page with any template – either one you have or one you create. That gives you
   a chance for 2 looks either by editing the markup or by importing additional 
   CSS. Nothing to it. 🙂

 * If I understand well s/he wants to change the “look” (style?) of the _links_ 
   depending on where they go. Meaning the color/font/whatever of the link does 
   NOT depend on what page your are on, but where they point.

 * I dont think I did a good job explaining my situation 🙂 All I am trying to do
   is give the links in the navigation different looks according to where they are
   in the hierarchy. For examlpe: if you look at my site, [http://test.centerforhumanservices.org](http://test.centerforhumanservices.org)
   
   I would like the Departments link to have one link and the links underneath it;
   Administration, Benefits… Have a different look. Does that make any sense? Thanks
   for the reply!
