   I have the custom design upgrade and would like to change the way the links are formatted within Elemin posts. I would like the font color to be the same as the surrounding text and the link to be indicated with a dotted underline. I've looked through the CSS code for the theme but can't figure out which element controls the link appearance.

   My blog is Our Polity (http://susanbarsy.com).

   I appreciate your help.
   Thank you,
   SB

   The blog I need help with is susanbarsy.com.

   Give this a try:

   .entry-content a {
   	color: #000;
   	text-decoration: none;
   	border-bottom: 1px dotted #000;
   }

   The ".entry-content" part makes it so the rule only affects links inside post or page content areas.

   Thanks. This worked, but I didn't use it because it didn't have the effect I wanted. Thanks though. SB

   You said you wanted link font color to be the same as the surrounding text and have a dotted underline. Did you want something different than that?

   That's exactly what I thought I wanted, but then I didn't like the effect when I tried it (which is not a fault of the code :) ).

   Now that I have the sample code you sent me, I know enough CSS to modify the link appearance in the posts however I want. Eventually I will figure out what looks best and change it.

   As far as I'm concerned this matter is resolved.
   Thanks again!
