Do I have to use other fancy names for colors instead of just the regular color name?

Nope. :) I just like the fancy color names. Here's a list: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#svg-color

You can use color codes like #FF0000 too, that's the code for red. You can read more about hexadecimal color codes at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors

There are nifty browser add-ons that will let you use a color picker to click on a web page element or image embedded in a web page and see it's color code. If you want to try one out, try searching for "color picker" with your browser name and you should be able find one. I use this one in Chrome, but there may be a better one: http://eye-dropper.kepi.cz/

a:link, a:visited {
  color: tomato;
}

Adjust the color as necessary.

There are different types of links in that theme too. For example, to change the link color for the sidebar pages or blogroll list, you would use this:

.widget ul li a {
  color: tomato;
}

If you wanted to catch other links, let us know which ones.

Can someone please tell me if & how I can change link color in Skeptical theme? I have the upgrade but don't know any CSS or code & I'm not a tekkie, so please, baby talk ; - >

Thank you!

I checked out http://blog.brightfox.com.au/ and I see you've gotten the tags formatted more like the ones in the Skeptical theme. Nice work!

To make the arrow look a little smoother/better, find the .post-date::after rule in your custom CSS an make all of the numbers in it match, i.e. set them all to 18px instead of just some of them like you have now. Example:

.post-date::after {
border-bottom: 18px solid transparent;
border-left: 18px solid #333!important;
border-top: 18px solid transparent;
content: " ";
height: 0;
position: absolute;
right: -18px;
top: 0;
width: 0;
}

Have any other questions?

This forum is for WordPress.com blogs. You may be talking about a WordPress.org blog which has it's own forums over at http://wordpress.org/support/

See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ to learn about the differences.

Our blog is using the "Funki" Premium wordpress theme. I want to change the layout and styling of the Categories links (which appear under the post title). Currently, they are displayed in a single line. I want to style them in a similar fashion to the links in "Skeptical" theme.

Which is the best way to do this? I am not sure how to add javascript for this theme as i cannot find the theme files anywhere. I tried the suggestions in wordpress help but those url's are not working.

@panaghiotisadam thanks for your response as well. I'm starting to understand and what you said makes sense. It's late where I am so I will revisit all of this tomorrow.

Thanks!

Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page, but we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or Custom Links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

Also note that if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, but that’s optional.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

1.You add the Categories you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

2. Then you add and drop and drag the sub-categories below the appropriate Categories.

3. You add the Pages you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

4. Then you add and drop and drag the sub-pages (child pages) below the appropriate parent Pages.

5. You add the custom links you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.

6. When you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.

7. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pull-down labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.

8. Refresh your browser so that it isn’t possibly pulling a cached page, and view your new custom menu with Parent pages and drop-downs to sub-pages, and Categories with drop-downs to subcategories, and Custom Links.

Troubleshooting – My menu isn’t appearing
Go to the custom menu page in the dashboard Appearance > Menus and in the “theme location” module at upper left select your custom menu from the pull-down and then click “save”.
