Makeover Blues

I am trying
to give the blog a makeover. I bought this new theme
Creative Tape from
Multithemes
and usually
most themes give you an option to change the colour of the links
and unfortunately this doesn't have an easy one-click option.
So being the incredibly impulsive and Singaporeanly impatient person that I am, I bravely dove into the unknown world of CSS trying to figure out how to change the colour of links. I've been fiddling and adjusting CSS scripts - without really knowing what I was doing of course. I'm still working on it -hence the
very obvious difference from the sidebar and main body.

The developers have since told me how to change it.
It really doesn't help that I am a designer by trade and such details irk the hell out of me. Things like font size, alignment, spacing, font colour, link colour, how it should be 2 pixles to the left or 4 pixels to the right, paragraphs in blogs should not be justified unless unusual circumstance. I am a nazi. Creative people usually are control freaks.
I have demands. I want 3 columns in my blog, I wish there are more people designing better themes for RapidWeaver, I want to have cool designed features like on delicious:days - the most beautiful and well designed blog I've seen.
I wish I could let it go. But I can't and won't rest until I really can't do anything about it. I obviously need to learn CSS scripting.
