Just in case anyone else wants help
I change the url of the page:

http://colourityou.co.uk/restful-sleep-is-so-important/

It wasn’t the footer text I wanted to change but the line in the text of the body of the page.

I have put the footer text right now by using art-postcontent.

I have got it to work
By simply turning them round and putting the hover rule before the link colour rule!

Very odd!
But sorted.
Thanks so much for your help 🙂

I wanted the link to remain blue after it has been visited.
Thanks for the note re ‘bold’.
Maybe that is the problem.

Thanks for trying to help CrouchingBruin but I’m not sure I understood your comment although I will be looking into it as I think I will need this later.

I found a solution on a site for another theme.
Luckily, although the question was 5 years old the blog was still there and I was able to figure out how to use it with my Artisteer theme and it seems to be working although I haven’t finished changing the colours for all the widgets yet and there are some odd changes to those I haven’t done yet!

But I do think this is working when added to the css box for the whole site:

#recent-posts-2 .art-blockcontent a, .art-blockcontent a:link{
color: #e26700;
}

#recent-posts-2 .art-blockcontent a:hover, .art-blockcontent a.hover{
color: #ffffff;
}

#categories-2 .art-blockcontent a, .art-blockcontent a:link{
color: #ff0000;
}

#categories-2 .art-blockcontent a:hover, .art-blockcontent a.hover{
color: #ffffff;
}

I used to handcode sites and knew the css I needed for that as in my driving school site to be found at http://www.safemotoring.co.uk

But I can see I have a lot more to learn now and as soon as I get this current site to an operational state I will take the time to do that.

I am not sure why I am using a ‘#’ rather than a ‘.’
I now know that the former is an ‘id’ selector rather than a ‘class’ selector but as I said I have a lot to learn and intend to understand css as well as I understand html.

And then maybe tackle php! There is a lot for this old handcoder to learn but I’m loving the responsive aspect of WordPress and once I am satisfied that the SEO will work for my driving school site as well or better than I have managed via handcoding I will change that site over to WP too.

Can’t even remember what I was trying to do now!
Have totally changed my theme design since then.

But wanted a line break which WP doesn’t support so tried again and it worked so it must have been me not knowing the code for what I wanted.

Thank you very much for a great plugin and your swift responses.

Not happy in WP as I’m used to hand coding in html and css and now I can get to do some of that without it being wiped every time I update my theme.

Thank you VERY much Daniele!
