    I want to change the unvisited link colors in Lifestyle. I  have selected the gray color option for the theme, but want the links to be a typical hyperlink blue so they stand out. When I inspect a link in a post I get the following code from Firebug. I've found that changing the color here affects ALL links. including those in the navigation menus, etc. I just want to change the hyperlinks in the body of the blog posts only, not those in menus and other places.  Just those that are part of the text body. Can't figure how?
    }

    .lifestyle-tan a, .lifestyle-tan a:visited, .lifestyle-tan #nav, .lifestyle-tan #nav li li a:hover, .lifestyle-tan #nav li li a:active, .lifestyle-tan #subnav li li a:hover, .lifestyle-tan #subnav li li a:active, .lifestyle-tan h1, .lifestyle-tan h2, .lifestyle-tan h2 a, .lifestyle-tan h2 a:visited, .lifestyle-tan #cat, .lifestyle-tan .widget_archive select, .lifestyle-tan .s, .lifestyle-tan .enews #subbox {

        color: #666666;

    }

    I tried breaking out part of the custom code for the tan theme and applying the desired link color to it, but it did not work - can someone help?

    I want the hyperlinks in the posts, articles, etc to be blue (#o000FF) and everything else (nav, subnav, all other links) to remain consistent with the Lifestyle tan theme color styling.

    .lifestyle-tan a, .lifestyle-tan a:visited {

    color: #0000FF;

    }

    .lifestyle-tan #nav, .lifestyle-tan #nav li li a:hover, .lifestyle-tan #nav li li a:active, .lifestyle-tan #subnav li li a:hover, .lifestyle-tan #subnav li li a:active, .lifestyle-tan h1, .lifestyle-tan h2, .lifestyle-tan h2 a, .lifestyle-tan h2 a:visited, .lifestyle-tan #cat, .lifestyle-tan .widget_archive select, .lifestyle-tan .s, .lifestyle-tan .enews #subbox {

    color: #666666;

    }

    Sorry you never got a reply to this. I do see you are using charcoal not tan though.

    .lifestyle-charcoal .entry-content a, .lifestyle-charcoal .entry-content a:visited {
      color: #0000FF;
      text-decoration: underline;
    }

    Thanks Jen. I pasted the code above at the bottom of the ".lifestle-charcoal" CSS, but it didn't change anything. I left it there.

    Here is one post where you can see some links:

    Works for me in Firebug. Where did you paste the code?

    I pasted it right at the bottom of the charcoal gray coding:

    .lifestyle-charcoal #footer-widgets,
    .lifestyle-charcoal #footer {
    background-color: #222;
    }

    .lifestyle-charcoal .entry-content a, .lifestyle-charcoal .entry-content a:visited {
      color: #0000FF;
      text-decoration: underline;
    }

    /* Lifestyle Gray
    ------------------------------------------------------------ */
    etc
    The links seem more prominent now, but the #0000FF should make them the traditional dark blue that identifies links, I am thinking?

    I'm having the same issue as ebeard, but I'm using lifestyle-tan. I added Jennifer Baumann's code in the tan area with my color change, but no difference.

    Hey, ebeard... I went to your site and saw your blue hyperlinks... mind telling me how you resolved your issue. Any other input is welcome and appreciate, too.
