a.posts { text-decoration: none; padding: 3px; }
a:link.posts { color: #fff; background-color: #00a; }
a:visited.posts { color: #fff; background-color: #066; }
a:hover.posts { color: #fff; background-color: #060; }

%26lt;p%26gt;As a last point, adding onfocus=%26quot;this.blur()%26quot; into each link code will get rid of that annoying dotted line which appears when the link is clicked.%26lt;/p%26gt;
