I need Links in Posts to be bold or a different colour

[danshell]

Hi There
I am trying to make any links in posts appear different to the normal text so its obvious they are links.

I can edit it in the .css file but that is also changing every link on the site, including all my menus etc.

Is there a way to make just the links in post appear different?

Sorry if its a newbie question.

Open your current theme's index.css file, and find this:

Code Select Expand

/* Styling for BBC tags */
.bbc_link:link, .bbc_link:visited
{
border-bottom: 1px solid #A8B6CF;
}
.bbc_link:hover
{
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid #346;
}

You can change the hexcodes for the colors you'd like link to be. .bbc_link:link and .bbc_link:visited are the color you want the link to be normally, while .bbc_link:hover is the color you want the link to be when hovering over it with the cursor.

To get the hex color codes you want, simply Google "hex color codes" and many resources should be returned to help you select which colors you'd like.

Remember to do a hard refresh (press CTRL + F5) in your browser after making modifications to your css files to see the changes if they don't appear right away.
