how to make hyperlinks more noticeable?

[jwdonal]

I am wondering if there is anyway to make the hyperlinks in my blog more noticeable. I currently have a white background and the hyperlinks are just barely colored blue (and it's a thin font). I'm wondering if there is an easy way that I can just make the hyperlinks themselves bold/larger/thicker/something to make them stand out.

I am currently using the bulletproof template. I have searched for other templates with more contrast but I haven't found another one that I like as much as the one I'm using now. There is only one thing I don't like about bulletproof and that is the hyperlinks are not noticeable.

Can someone help? I think it should be an easy fix...Is there some file that I can just edit a few lines, or is there some setting I don't know about, or....?

Thanks!!

Find out (in the BP blog or this forum -- sorry, I'm too beat to explain that in detail) how to activate and use a user.css in BP.

Add to this user.css (i.e.):

Code: Select all

#content a:link,
#content a:visited,
#content a:active,
#content a:hover,
#content a:focus { font-weight: bold; }

That's just one example. If you want more, you'll have to get familiar with CSS or tell us how exactly you want each state of a link styled.

Dude!!! That so totally worked!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You have no idea how long that has been bugging me!! And it was so easy to fix! AWESOME! I actually made it so that it would underline the links as well:

Code: Select all

#content a:link,
#content a:visited,
#content a:active,
#content a:hover,
#content a:focus { font-weight: bold; text-decoration:underline }

I love it! THANKS AGAIN!!
