Help!

Ok all, I have a question. I added a "My Blog List" gadget at the bottom of my page, but I cannot get the links to show up unless I mouse over them. How can I get the links to show up all the time? I tried playing with the fonts and colors settings, but none of them seem to apply to that particular aspect of the page. Any advice would be appreciated!

Oh, wait, I think I figured it out. When I looked, I could see one link but had to roll ever the rest. The only link I could see was a new blog that I hadn't looked at yet on this computer so I clicked the link to visit the new site and returned - the link was invisible. Somewhere in the HTML of your new look, I'd bet the color of visited links is set to the exact same color as your background. You might be able to find this and edit it.

Color is represented by 6 digit combinations of letters and numbers so if you can find this reference, change those numbers to #ffffff . This would change the visited link color to white (you can pick a different color but if you don't know how to figure out the numbers at least white will help you see if you've found the right code.)

Yep, this is definitely the problem. Look at your side bar and at the color of the links you've visited - it's the same as the background color. I'm thinking the designer didn't intend for you to put links where you've put them.
