 * Hello everybody!
 * I have encountered a problem where my own customized theme is affecting the layout
   of the WordPress dashboard and I don’t know how to solve it. If I for example
   write a { color:red; } in style.css, every a tag in the dashboard also gets affected
   but it’s only meant for the actual website.
 * Has anyone else encountered anything similar before?
    I could really use some
   help!
 * Thanks in advance.
