Re: text color of links
You want to use pseudo-class styles to style your links. So in Dreamweaver, make a new style, select "Advanced", click on the arrow next to the "Selector" text area and find "a:link". That will control your link text color, effects, blink (don't use blink), background images, etc.
There are four that you can use:
a:link - This controls your link appearance.
a:visited - This controls the appearance of the links that have already been visited.
a:hover - This controls the appearance that links change to when you mouse over them.
a:active - This controls what color or appearance links flash when you click on them.
Apply these in this order or they will interfere with one another.
Here's a couple of links and videos that delve into this process:
