 * Hello
 * I’ve done so that when visitors hover a link on my site, the background turns
   blue.
 * But I’ve noticed that the same things happens with image-links. Try hovering 
   over these image: [http://www.geimaku.com/23/08/2012/dead-or-alive-5-helena-douglas-and-lisa-hamilton-revealed/](http://www.geimaku.com/23/08/2012/dead-or-alive-5-helena-douglas-and-lisa-hamilton-revealed/)
 * See? How can I remove the blue from images? The same thing happens when you hover
   the Twitter and RSS icons on top.
 * Thanks. My site: [http://geimaku.com](http://geimaku.com)

 * Hi makta112,
 * Take a look at line 757 in your style.css file. Since the imgs also use the `
   <a>` tag, this hover gets applied to them as well.
 * Give this a try: change `a:hover` to `.entry-header a:hover` on line 757. After
   doing this, you should comment out the `.entry-header a:hover` just below it.
 * Let us know if that resolves the issue for you.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks. But the code you’ve provided removes the background fromm ALL links, 
   yes? I still want to keep the background in links inside posts 🙂
 * However, I’ve found out how to remove it from the icons and gallery items. These
   simple lines of codes did it:
 * `.gallery a {background:none;}`
 * `.icons a {background:none;}`
