 * sounds great. so far i’ve gone into the theme editor and tried adding in…
 * textwidget a:hover {
    display: block; background-color: #FF54E3 }
 * …to see if that would fix the problem. this did nothing.
 * later i was just trying to figure out how the css works by looking over the stylesheet
   and reading through some css tutorials. at some point, i tried entering this:
 * #textwidget, a:hover {
    display: block; background-color: #FF54E3 }
 * and that made every link on the page behave like the links on the sidebar.

 * I’m trying to skim through them right now. I’ve been looking through a mess of
   similar tutorials but I still haven’t quite gotten a handle on where I’m screwing
   up my syntax trying to fix this. Any help is appreciated.
