Customizing links

Through css you can customize any links you have on your blog pretty much any way you want them to look. If you want a rundown on link styling than check out W3schools.

In your custom.ss file add the following code. You can put it anywhere you want but I recommend putting it at the top. Remember, once you make the change, save it, and upload the new file to your server. Always describe what you’re doing by putting your descripton between the comment tags /* */ at the beginning shown below in green. The comments aren’t shown on your rendered page and it just makes things easier for you to remember…

/*link styles*/
.custom a {put your custom styles here for links;}
.custom a:visited {put your custom styles for links that have already been clicked on ;}
.custom a:hover {put your custom styles for when you hover over a link without clicking on it ;}

The above does a sitewide link customization. If you want to just target links in a post or page then check out this tutorial

Leaving a comment with code in it...

If you would like to leave a comment and you have examples of code you want to show, you must "escape the code". This allows the entire code to show correctly by inserting certain variable around certain tags to make them show. If you don't "escape the code" your code will show up broken, mangled, and it won't be able to be seen correctly. "Escaping the code" is very simple...

  1. Copy your code you want to show
  2. Click here to go to the site to escape the code
  3. Follow the directions, it's so easy
  4. Once you have the escaped code copied, paste it in the comments area where you want
  5. Now you can enjoy life


Go ahead, leave a comment...
