I have this nagging problem with my links, it looks like only the visited links are effected and they inharet the reset styles even though I'm changing the id of the links that I want styled differently.

Heres my CSS

#archives ul{
list-style-type: square;
padding-left:10px
}
#archives li a:link,a:visited{
display:block;
color:#333;
font-size:11px;
text-decoration: none;
letter-spacing:2px;
margin:0;
}

The HTML:

<div id="archives">
<h4>Archives</h4>
<ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?></ul>
<h4>Recent Posts</h4>
<ul><?php wp_get_archives('title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?></ul>
<br />
</div>

the link is www.templafied.com click a link on the side bar or in the post and it'll take the styles from the top nav

resolved...added #archives ul li alink, #archives ul li a:visited and it worked...
I'm also have a problem getting my border to show on IE? anyone know if theirs a special hack or something to get borders to show up on IE?

You don't need a hack...but sometimes in IE you have to be more specific, which is what you did with your visited links. Which border though? I'm not seeing any missing borders in ie7?

theres supposed to be a bottom border on the loop and a left border on the sidebar..I dont see it on IE8 but it shows on IE7?

I'm using the shorthand property border-bottom:1px solid #f7f7f7; and border-left:1px solid #f7f7f7 is there any more specific then that?

take away a:link replace it with a and then normal as a:visited i have bolded error or this might not work properly so better to use as a

no I resolved that problem now I have a border problem..

Actually, I can't SEE the sidebar border in Firefox either, but that's because it's just too light to see on the white bg.

I would also mention that some of your other light gray colors are far too light, the contrast is very poor for accessibility. Heaven help the color blind person, they may not see your links at all.
