Well do you remember what domain you used?
http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin … just append /wp-admin to the end of your URL.

OR did you set up a blog at http://www.wordpress.COM ?

This forum is for self-hosted blogs, not WordPress.com blogs, if that helps.

Loads really fast for me, on a Windows box in Houston, Texas, but then again I am on a corporate T1 line.

I went to Pingdom and ran a test, which you can see here.

Didn’t see anything really amiss except one huge honking file, http://www.baconrealtygroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/St.-Petersburg-Tampa-Bay-Waterfront-Homes-Condos.jpg

Are you at WordPress.COM? The web based community of WP Blogs? or are you self hosting? I’m thinking you should post at the WordPress.com forums because of your statement, “I opened a wordpress account and selected give me a blog I selected bowsandmud…”

Why would a plugin normally generate a 500 error? Check the ratings on each plugin page and see the comments to find out whether the plugin works or doesn’t work. It takes just a second to install a plugin from a zip file from within the WP dashboard.

It’s a CSS class, also known as a styling hook. And it should have worked unless you’ve got something else in the stylesheet overriding it.

GiantSlayer provided the code that goes into your style.css document. The only problem is that the pseudo-class a:visited has to come before a:hover in the stylesheet. That’s why it didn’t work. Try the code below:

.blogroll a:link{
  color:blue;
}

.blogroll a:visited{
  color:green;
}
.blogroll a:hover{
  color:red;
}
