I've searched and found a few questions on changing from the default gray to blue and can't find the answer.

www.richturkphotos.com (http://www.richturkphotos.com)

I have a few links to e-mails and web pages in my HTML bio on top. I'm trying to override the default gray and change them to blue.....Can you tell me how to put the code in??

Thanks

Great idea....I got rid of the text of the link....and the color right.. How can I align it so that "here's a sample of some party photos" continues immediately after "cost" on the same line.'

and that the following paragraph begins lined up immediately under the first???

Allen,

Thanks for the suggestions, I did the pre's so I can get the wyswig and will be able to change fonts, color etc as i so desire.

But I just can't find the line break you're referencing that's causing the space between "cost" and the "here's a sample"...link

The line breaks are now carriage returns and hidden. Go to the end of the line and hit delete.

After tinkering around I got to look at my changes on IE 7.0 instead of Firefox and the results are quite different. I guess one has to check out both browsers before finalizing web pages.

All set. Thanks for all the patience in getting this done...
