 * help required please…..i have modified the stylesheet of the aquagreen theme 
   but there is one thing i cannot figure out how to change: the colour of the username
   under “Recent Comments” on the sidebar. It is not modifiable through the style
   sheet since i guess this parameter is being generated from a php file. can you
   tell me which file i need to be looking at and how to modify the username colour.
   it is currently black and i need it to be white. many thanks

 * _to change: the colour of the username under “Recent Comments” on the sidebar…
   it is currently black and i need it to be white._
 * It *is* white.
 * My guess is you’re viewing the site through IE6? If it’s still black in IE6, 
   then it’s probably because you’re not being specific enough to designate what
   needs changed. IE likes *extreme* specifications. I would recommend opening up
   the style.css file, and at the very bottom of the file, add this:
 *     ```
       #sidebar ul li strong {
       color:#FFF;
       }
       ```
   
 * See if that helps.

 * 2 things:
 * 1st:
    read my post again…this time more carefully.
 * i did not say i wanted to change the colour of “recent comments” i said i wanted
   to change “the colour of the username under “Recent Comments”” (which by the 
   way is clearly black)
 * 2nd:
 * why do you “guess” i am using IE? wrong. guess again. im using firefox. never
   assume anything, it helps no-one. ive figured it out now anyway. thanks for your
   help?!

 * Perhaps you might like to post exactly what you did to solve this, so the next
   person looking for help with this problem may find it…. and mark this as resolved,
   please and thanks?

 * lukehe –
 * 2 things:
 * 1) read MY post again, this time more carefully.
 * I *know* you said you wanted to change the color of th e username undre “recent
   comments”. And it IS white. I’m using Firefox 2.0. And it’s white. As *I* said,
   I’m **guessing** you’re using IE6 – which requires much more specification when
   it comes to links. I offered a solution so it would be white in IE6.
 * I don’t *assume* anything. I *guess* when not enough information is provided.
   If you had *said* you were using Firefox, maybe I would have offered a different
   solution, because to me it was white.
 * Apologies for trying to assist. I’ll be sure to NEVER do that again for you.
 * Nice way to treat someone who’s trying to help, buddy.

 * it is white because i fixed it using:
 * #sidebar li strong
    { color:#fff; }
 * thank you
