I have the links in my site how I like them.

A:link {background: ; text-decoration: none; color: #0000ff; font-family:arial}
A:visited {background: ; text-decoration: none; color: #0000ff; font-family:arial}
A:active {background: ; text-decoration: none; color: #0000ff; font-family:arial}
A:hover {background: ; text-decoration: underline overline; color: red; font-family:arial}

Why do only my menus follow that and now the rest of the page?

I would like all links everywhere on my site to be like that.

Anything?

Hi Joe,

Those that will help you (me included) will need your website address.

Please also put in your profile (You!) upper left on dgrin screen.

joe, CSS is case sensitive, so that may likely be your problem (A vs. a). Hard to know for sure though without a link to your site like Andy said.

a:link didn't seem to help.

By the way, that CSS is on all my pages. I ripped from a "Learn CSS" site. It's possible that the syntax is wrong. I just don't know.

Joe, what specifically is the problem. Your links look fine to me, the only link that is not being styled by that rule is the 'Decrepit Structures' link.

the reason for that is because the rule for that link is more specific than your rule. Specificity wins out over order of instruction.

here's how the cascading order is determined: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#cascading-order

What's the rule for the Decrepit Structures link? That's actually what I'm trying to change. I want to make the link rules for that follow the others.

joe, go get the web developer extension and/or firebug (both in my signature) for firefox. They will help you figure out the order of things.

I've had them both for a few days. I didn't realize something about how CSS does things.

I'm slowly getting a hang of things.

I'm very close to having my homepage how I want it. Which is wonderful considering I was very close to giving up.

How do I get my galleries to look like my home page? There was a FAQ about that somewhere (I can't find it now) but I did it. It was a customizing setting and I did what it asked me too.
