This was my question too... The tips were great, but now (in my case) I've got the problem of having three different types of content that all use the same 'class'; which is "a, a:link, a:visited, a:active" right?
For the example, please visit my homepage:
http://www.gkhome.net/index.php?index
There is the {NAV_ROW} tag in the header, the "Link Article" content part, and the {NAV_ROW:12:0} tag in the footer - all seem to refer to the same part of the CSS file. So changing the font colour there changes all the above colours.
What's the method of creating new Classes, or somehow referencing to other colours. I tried using a <font> tag within the Template, but it didn't change the actual link colour.
I've also had a look in "conf.template_default.inc.php"; but nothing made much sense to me there.
Many thanks in advance,
Goshen
