Hi there folks!
I forgot where I can do this - I need to change the style of the more link, and the "(xxx words)" text. Where can I do that? I mean, can I add a style to this? Where can we change styles from some variables?
Yours,
oculos

ah...
well you need to play detective, a bit
(at least this is what I would do)
looking at the storytext.thtml again it shows a line like this:
'start_contributedby_anchortag' looks promising, so I do a fulltext searc on it through my geeklog directory, what normally leads to a line in lib-common.php
In this case it leads me to this:
'<a class="storybyline" href="' . $_CONF['site_url']
. '/users.php?mode=profile&uid=' . $A['uid'] . '">' );
so here we have a style we can change in the css file.
I'm sure that ain't the most professional way, but so far it worked for me

While geKow's method is certainly helpful (I have used it many times), another method is to view the source of the page you want to change. Look for the text whose style you want to edit and see if it already has a class or id declaration.

Quote by oculos: That was also my step. However, that might be situations where you want to define a different style for a particular element, so this solutiong was just great.
Just to make sure we're on the same page, if you want to define a new css class/style, best to do it in the theme file. Stay away from the core files as much as possible.
