Modifying the properties of only certain links

Hi all,

I have a blog here: http://wysinnwyg.com/blog/

and I want to modify the properties of only the links within the blog posts. How do I do that?

The change I want is from this:

a:hover, a:active { 
  color: #3B3B3B; 
}

Code (markup):

to

a:hover, a:active { 
 background-color: blue;
 color: white;
}

Code (markup):

but if I do that, ALL the links in the blog are affected.

I guess the solution is to create a class and use that class for the blog links? Would I then need to specify the right class for EACH link that I put in my posts? Could you help me with this, I haven't used HTML in years.

thanks

 

by using back slashes we can modify certain areas of links

 

You can add a class for each <a> you want to change but you could, if the links you want to change are inside a specific container (div) and you want to change only the links inside that container you can do :

if the container is called #top

#top a:hover, #top a:active { background-color: blue; color: white; }

and it would change the links inside the #top div or what ever div you choose.
