In reply to: Blog looks different on Mac and PCWelcome to the world of web browsers and CSS. Each browser reads the language a little differently, so it’s not the PC or Mac’s issue. It’s going to be Internet Explorer vs. Safari.

In reply to: What is the “Add new custom field”?Yeah, WordPress gives you the option of adding custom fields. You don’t have to, but some people find it useful. If you have a set of criteria you want to show on a regular basis, you can do so using custom fields. Example:
Mood: Happy
Listening to: John MayerYou’d add the custom field “mood” or “Listening to”, then answer them in each post.

In reply to: Help a newbie change link colorWell, there’s no way to do it without altering the CSS. In short, your link properties will have an “a” involved. Example:
a {
color: #06c;
text-decoration: none;
}a:hover {
color: #147;
text-decoration: underline;
}A stand-alone a is the base link color. It’s your default style that will effect all of your links. a:hover is how your links will appear when hovered over.
You’re going to see lots of link styles in your stylesheet” h2 a, h3 a, etc. All of those are saying, if the element h3, which is a heading element, is a link, display it as follows. Does that make sense?
To change the color, you need to know the hex value of the color you want. Try colorschemer.com/online/ if you don’t have Photoshop.
