Having great trouble with the colours of the links - saving a new, preferred colour works well when you call up just that blog page.
When read on the home page at eyeswiredopen.blogspot.com (ie.where all the most recent posts are available in a continual scroll, most recent at the top) the colour of links keeps going back to deep purple - which is unreadable. Urgh!!!! Nothing I do in the "colours and fonts" section makes any difference. Any clues? It's driving me nuts!

Lynden - I can't identify the cause of this problem, but looking at the code of your template, the link colours you have selected are showing correctly for the individual post pages:
a:link : #cceedd (pale green)
a:visited : #e6e6e6 (light grey)
a:hover : #e6e6e6 (light grey)
However, when the Home Page is viewed, the link colours that are being displayed are the 'default' template hyperlink colours:
blue for 'link'
purple for 'visited link'
So, your user-selected colours are being ignored when the Home Page is viewed.
If none of your readers can offer a solution, it might be worthwhile posting a message on the Blogger Support Forum. One of the resident experts will look at your code and very likely spot the problem immediately.
Same thing here - it's the home page that's the problem. My best guess is that you will have to change the html template. (Always save a copy in case things go awol). There are text colour instructions in the CSS at the top of the template - or at least, in mine there are. If you paste in the correct codes, it should work.
Agreed. I would try changing to a different template, then changing back.
If it is a caching issue with Blogger, that might solve it.
Good luck.
Tony, Alison and Karel - many thanks for your suggestions.
I've changed to a totally new template , which solves the unreadable link-colour problem, but I've lost all hte (i) links to other bloggers and (ii) list of labels that ran down the right-hand side - the latter particularly useful reference tool, for finding old posts quickly - and I want it back! But jhow?
And how do I now customise the new template? When I hit 'Customize" and then go to "Settings", the old tab for "Colours and fonts" has disappeared - dont know how to get it back. Grrr!
Any suggestions gratefully received! (I dont understand html or CSS coding)
Are you using Draft Blogger?

I've found it makes it much simpler to make changes, and it allows greater flexibility.
