SOLVED: Help needed - mainly clicky links/navigation/entry text

[argeneau]

Hello :) First time poster here, first time ever attempting to edit a layout myself too. I've managed to make many of the changes I wanted thanks to the help given in previous posts but struggling on some aspects of the layout. I've gone through the relevant (I think) tags and tried several codes given to previous CSS virgins like me but none of

First of all, you're missing a closing curly brace at the end of the body group. That might be why nothing you were trying was working, because any codes you put after background-attachment: fixed ; will be ignored.

Oh wow, I can't believe I didn't notice that o_O

CSS is definitely not my thing but I'm normally good at spotting stuff if it's inconsistent from the others. Ok, I've added that in now, hopefully in the right place (looking at the other codes, sometimes it's right after the ; with no space and sometimes on the line below - I guess it doesn't matter which?).

I've now done numbers 4 and 5 :) but still struggling to find posts that cover the other numbers. They seem to be to change ~all text or links, or a specific part of the text/links but not the same parts I'd like to change. The navigation links under the header one is totally stumping me, how to recreate a similar look as the other journal I linked to.

ETA: Also done number 1 now - did it the easy way under Navigation Strip>Custom colors. It doesn't have the gradient on it but I can live with it as it is :)

Any help you could offer to walk me through the remaining issues would be so appreciated.

The placement of the "}" doesn't really matter in CSS, just as long as every opening curly brace is matched with a closing one. It's more of a readability issue.

I'll have to poke at #2 a bit later, when I can load the images.

#3: .lj-view-tags a { color: #F26098; }

#4: Change this line:
.asset-name a { color: #22316C; }
to
.asset-name a, .categories-widget .widget-footer a { color: #22316C; }

#6: .asset-tags-list a { color: #FBEC5D; }

#7: If I understand you correctly, this is what you want:
.widget .ljuser a, .user-icon .ljuser a { color: #000000; }
