ran an exp with that code and something is wrong. I created two html boxes.
Box 1, BODY: <div class="customlink select"><a href="http://test.dtscarpentry.com">HOME</a></div>
Box 2, BODY: <div class="customlink"><a href="http://test.dtscarpentry.com/About.html">ABOUT</a></div>
I put this code in two different places (in the HEADER HTML of the html box, and the EDIT>EDIT HEADER) to see what it does. All it does is turn my text white.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.customlink a:link, a:visited { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; font-weight:bold;font-size: 18px; }
.customlink a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; }
.customlink a:active {color: #FFFFFF; }
.select a:link {color: #FF0000; }
-->
</style>

That would be because the colors are all #FFFFFF.
That's white. Isn't that what you wanted? That's what was in all the codes.
If you give your div the class select then you should get the green text on the home page. I chnaged the red to the green I think you were after. Maybe you could tell me what colors you want at each link status so it's clear.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I did change the .select a:link {color: #254117; } to 254117, but it did not change the HOMe text to Green. I know that FFFFFF is white and Im ok with that. Just looking for HOME to be GREEN 254117 and the other links WHITE FFFFFF. Still trying to learn and I made many changes to these two html boxes but was not producing the results I was looking for. I ran the test by starting a new page with only two html boxes on it, and changing the .select a:link {color: #FF0000; } code to 254117 but HOME stayed white. I will try again in the morning.

Are we both looking at the same page? I don't see any changes to this page. I don't even see the code I posted.

I did not post this. I have been running the exp locally on a new blank page. I will make the changes and post in a bit.

Are you going to use images as the background color or do you want to code that in?

Probably not. the test page I only put a backdrop color box for visual purposes. Probably should have changed the background color

Sorry i didn't get back sooner.
Give this a try and then we can tweak from there. I tested in VSD and it seemed fine. I'm just not totally sure on all the colors you need.
