HTML code for changing the color of hyperlinks?

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>

HTML:

 

thank you!!!! I'll go try it out now!

 

It works Thank you so much... I really appreciate it!

 

Glad I could help!

 

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?

 

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="/****" [COLOR="red"]class="altlink"[/COLOR] >use CSS here </a> punk!</p>

Code (markup):

Put this in your .CSS file:

 [COLOR="red"].altlink{color:red} [/COLOR]

Code (markup):

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="/****" [COLOR="Red"]style="color:red"[/COLOR]>use CSS here</a>  punk!</p>

Code (markup):

 

Your forum looks like it is powered by vbulletin (and an outdated version at that).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.

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
