Actually they quite visible – until you visit them. The visited and non-visited links have different colours:
a { text-decoration:none;border:none;background:transparent}
a:link { color: #990000; }
a:visited { color: #663300; }
a:hover, a:active { color:#990000;background:#F3F5CC; }
Make whatever changes you want in the “visited” line.
Also, can you point me to where I would change the code to put some color in the background on the sidebar.

Hi kiersten!
In your themes style.css <..>/nolimits/style.css, you’ll find a section
#sidebar {
float:left;
…
}
Inside the {} you can place the rule for your background color.
background:#929292;
or whatever color you like. This will override colors set for body and #rap.
As you can imagine, I took a look at your sites source code and CSS, to make the above remarks. Going a bit further, I had a look at the Nolimits theme at http://wpthemes.info/posts/2005/02/24/nolimits-released/
It doesn’t look quite like yours so must have changed it considerably. The repeating shadow image referenced in your style sheet doesn’t show up on your page and the <h2 class=”title”> on your page is not referenced in the stylesheet. Maybe you are importing the wrong CSS.
Time now for a nap.
Thanks. I will try the color thing. Another question maybe you can answer: I would like to put up a blogroll, but I want it to go further down on the page, like below the “recent comments” section. Right now my sidebar links appear in alphabetical order, so if I put in blogroll, it goes to the top. But I imagine there is a way to write the code so that the blogroll list of links can be inserted wherever I want, right? Thanks in advance. Hope you had a nice nap.

Thanks, I had and I’m sorry to say I revisited this thread to late. It’s time for another one.
I didn’t put in any other links than my blogroll, but testing now, I had the same result as you.
However I realized that you can create categories of links, e.g. “Worth visiting”, “Blogroll”, “Others”, so I think there must be a way of presenting link categories separately – don’t know how yet though.
Night!
Hey – couldn’t sleep.
“All” about links management could be found here in the Codex: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Links_Manager
I didn’t find the obvious sotr by category-then by name.
I found something else that could work as a dirty work-around. Every link has an owner who is a user in your WP blog. In the Manage/Links page of the Dashboard you can tick the boxes to the right of the links and way down you can select from a drop down list which user “owns” the links. Then you can select to sort links by owner.
If user alfa ( which may be a dummy user ) owns the “Recent Comments” links and beta owns the “Blogroll links”, the Blogroll will go after the RC links.
Thanks — I will explore options as you suggested.
One more quick question: how would I make the post titles be in bold? Right now they are kind of skinny. Don’t know where in the code to add, or what to add to get the post titles bold. Thanks again!
If you view source in your browser, you will See that the titles markup is <h2 class”title”>This is a title</h2>.
( There’s some other stuff in there too but this is the CSS class for your titles )
You can give this class any style you like in your CSS file. The style rules are in styles.css in your nolimits theme.
You already have a style for #content h2, which means all heading 2 in the content div. Search for that in styles.css and you will find a little further down a style for
#content .title a
This is for styling the anchor ( or link if you will )
Now right after the #content h2 rule, you can add
#content .title{
font-weight: bold;
}
There are other ways to do this, but I find this the most straight forward, given the existing stylesheet.
You can find a good CSS tutorial at W3 Schools
Good luck!
You’r welcome! Hope it helps.
