working w/ CSS & smugmug's code

lifeonfilmphotography

Hi,

I am customizing a page for http://www.lifeonfilmphotography.com. I want to make the headers that say "lifeonfilmphotography's home" and the navigation-related "gallery categories" a different color than default. They are gray and white on the main page, and they don't work with our color scheme.

I tried to use CSS to do this but have not been able to make them change on the main page. However, on the lower levels in the navigation (like home > Weddings) some of the header does change color. I want to remove the inconsistencies! Things I've tried:

-using a DIV after the header and ending before the rest of the footer, and then specifying colors for the DIV in the stylesheet.
-using the same class name (headlg) that smugmug does to add my preferences to that class (not sure if that would work, but it was worth a shot).

I am wondering whether the specifications for some of these headers are in-line with the code itself... if they are, there's NO way to change them as I understand it. I am wondering why it would be inflexible in that way on the main page, but not on the lower levels of navigation.

Here's my stylesheet in case anyone has tips & needs the info:

BODY {
background-color: black
}
A:LINK {
color : #FF9966; text-decoration: none;
}
A:VISITED {
color : #CC6633; text-decoration: none;
}
.linksfont {
font-family: "Monotype Corsiva"
}

The .linksfont refers to a related problem - we want to change the font of the gallery titles on the main page. No luck with this so far either. Can anyone help?

Here's the code that displays the cookie crumb links:
brilliantphoton's home  >  Bear Creek Dog Park There are a few options you can use. One way is to use the class headlg:

/*This will affect all text, but not links*/
.headlg{
color: red;
}

/*This will affect all links, but not text*/
.headlg a{
color: red;
}
/*remember to tell the browser what to do when the mouse hovers over the link:*/
.headlg a:hover{
color: #f33;
}
