HTML code for changing the color of hyperlinks?

[Angeleyes]

Recently someone informed me that the reason my forums aren't being indexed much on google is because the program I use on the homepage (articlelive) uses redirects for all of the pages. So I changed the forums link to a direct link.

However, articlelive by default makes all links blue. Does anyone know the code I can use to change the color of a hyperlink just on one link?

You can see the problem here http://www.IHeartPaws.com

Just place the color tag inside the hyperlink tag.

Example:

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com"><font color="FF0000">Yahoo</font></a>

you can use CSS and the a attribute. That's the most current. Font tags are deprectated.

I agree thevenerablez. As i can see your sources code there are three style sheets used in your page. Why dont' you put a style for those links in one of your style sheet?

[Angeleyes]

Thanks thevenerablez and Kirtan... but Articlelive uses templates and it confuses me a bit (basically being a novice). I am really not sure how to do that. :(

In your HTML file add a class attribute to the "a" tag:
<p>You really need to <a href="/****" class="altlink" >use CSS here </a> punk!</p>

Put this in your .CSS file:
.altlink{color:red}

Alternatively if you can only access HTML via your templates you could use this less desirable method in your HTML file:
<p>You really need to <a href="/****" style="color:red">use CSS here</a> punk!</p>

Your forum looks like it is powered by vbulletin (and an outdated version at that). It includes a huge list of styles that really should be in a separate CSS file. It also looks like your main page is using a template that pulls from several CSS files in http://www.iheartpaws.com/templates/Bright Light/Styles/

You definitely want to use styles (CSS) and NOT the font tag as suggested above. You also may wish to use http://validator.w3.org/ to see where you can improve the site. Templating engines are much easier to modify than you might believe :)

What does this have to do with anything? It's on the last version and I haven't had the time recently to update it, originally I was waiting to hear the experiences that others had with the upgrade and got very busy. Articlelive (as I stated is being used on the homepage) pulls from many templates that's just the way it works... and it confuses the crap outta me. :D

Additionally, I have no idea how to edit the CSS files on Vbulletin... isn't it supposed to be done right as sold??? I will definitely check out that link when I get home from work. Thank you!!!!

I think I need to get a partner to help with the site and make it make money... then of course, profit share. I'm too clueless for words :(
