can't find the right bit in my template...

...to change the colours of the viewed comments...the part where it links to the person commenting and the date bit.

I've also changed one of my previous posts green when it should be white.

I have changed all the wrong bits HELP!
jacquie

I'll have a look and get right back to you!

It looks like that bit is covered by the general link code:

Code:

#main a:link {
  color:#fFF;
  font-weight:bold;
  font-size:130%;
  }
#main a:visited {
  color:#ced;
  font-weight:bold;
  font-size:130%;
  }


It has different colors for before and after you have visited it so you might want to change both color values.
Linz

Thankyou...got that bit Very Happy


Now...when you click on the date below the the actual posts.....how can I change the colour of the date and link to the person who's commented???


Sorry but I can't find that bit either.....CJ has a lovely orange shade on hers lol
jacquie

I think I must be misunderstanding where you mean.

The bits that will be changed by changing the above are in red here:


Is it somewhere else?
Linz

NO Jaquie it's my fault...I coped the bit (forgot to add in a new colour :oops) then closed the template without saving.....lol
I WILL go and do it properly now (oh the shame Wink)
Linz

Jacquie....I copied the bit you sent and changed the colour but it has only changed the 'posted by ladybirdlinz' date and comments.
The other 'red' bits haven't changed and I can't find that bit either Confused


sorry for being a pain Embarassed
jacquie

Have you just changed something because for me all the "red" bits suddenly started coming out green and purple.

The only bit to work on now is where it says "said" (I think) very faintly by the commenter's name and the bit at the top of the comments where it says how many there are.
Linz

dunno what I did but DH says it's i veiwed it through AOL and it doesn't update that fast lol.
I know what you mean about the 'says' bit....and i'm thinking that if I change the dark green colour bar for the green that the text is in and keep the purple bit it would be better.
anyway i'll fiddle around and then ask you lol


editted to add had a play....and now i can't see the posted by ladybirdlinz very well (it's the same colour as the 'says' bit )....I wonder if the same bit of text will change both these bits too.
jacquie

The bit where it says "1 comment:" (Or however many it is) is controlled by this code:
Code:
#comments h4 {
  margin:0 0 10px;
  padding:0 14px 2px 29px;
  border-bottom:1px dotted #6a7;
  font-size:120%;
  line-height:1.4em;
  color:#fff;
  }



and the bit where it says "said..." after the commenter's name is controlled by this code:
Code:

.comment-data {
  background:url("http://www.blogblog.com/rounders4/icon_comment.gif") no-repeat 2px .3em;
  margin:.5em 0;
  padding:0 0 0 20px;
  color:#ced;
  }
Linz

By Jove I think i've done it..Thankyou Jacquie Very Happy
Dunno what I would do without you...CHEERS
jacquie

That would be this bit:
Code:

p.post-footer em {
  display:block;
  float:left;
  text-align:left;
  font-style:normal;
  }


It doesn't specify a color so you'll have to add it yourself
Linz

lol I've just editted....done it!
jacquie

The way I have been finding out these things is by saving the source of your page and looking at that rather than just looking at the template (which I can't access anyway of course) - that way you can see where the template has been expanded with the actual comments etc and you can match up where it says

class ="xxx" inside a tag

with the CSS code at the top where you specify the colors and fonts etc.
jacquie

Looks great now - happy to help!
