A fresh look

// January 6th, 2010 // Webmaster tips

What better way to start the new year but with a fresh look!
I have just loaded up the free WooTheme called Irresistible.
I will probably need to do some minor tweaking in the coming weeks. For example, one thing that I found weird was that with the default styling hyperlinks weren’t standing out at all unless you rolled over them. I was able to add the following quick custom style and they are now underlined.
a, a:link, a:visited { color: #fff; text-decoration: underline; }
It’s handy that WooThemes have an extra custom.css file where you can put any custom styling without editing the default styles.

I will probably need to do some minor tweaking in the coming weeks. For example, one thing that I found weird was that with the default styling hyperlinks weren’t standing out at all unless you rolled over them. I presume this was to make Post headings look cleaner but not having links highlighted I felt was a bigger issue. In any case I was easily able to add the following quick custom style and they are now underlined.

a, a:link, a:visited { color: #fff; text-decoration: underline; }

The other thing I noticed and have found in most other WordPress themes is that the heading sizes are out of whack – Heading 1 within a post will be dramatically larger than the post heading itself. Is it just me or don’t most people use the heading styles?

Anyway, it’s handy that WooThemes have an extra custom.css file where you can put any custom styling without editing the default styles. Means you can easily switch between your styles and the defaults.
