Hey Hellsheep,
It is actually much easier than you think. CSS is always a good way to go as you can control large amount of layout changes with as little effort possible. Though, if you dont have a .css file, dont stress for now, you will eventually get the hang of this and figure it out.
In any case, back to your problem. View your file in code view, if your editor doesn't have a code view option, edit it with notepad. Look for the tag </head> and place the code below right above that.
Code:
<style type="text/css">
a:link
{ color: white; }
a:hover
{ color: white; }
a:visted
{ color: white; }
</style>
What this does is to change all <a> tags properties for link, hover and visited to white.
Your second option would be to specify the colours in the body tag, so where your body tag opens, you would do something like;
Code:
<body alink="white" link="white" vlink="white">
This again would change all <a> tag properties for link, hover and visited to white.
There is a third way of doing this, and as far as my knowledge goes, it is for changing a single <a> tags colour, but that tag would inherit the colour to all three properties and you only specify one (I have not used this method before so I might be off target here).
Code:
<a style="color: red" href="www.google.co.za">Google</a>"
Hope this helps.
