Many thanks!

I tried “.navbar a” and it didn’t work, but it worked when I added 
"!important", so I figured there must be Bootstrap rules that are a lot more 
specific so they’re being used.  So I removed the “!important” and tried 
“.navbar ul.navbar-nav li a” and that seemed to work for most of it, and 
“.navbar a.navbar-brand” for the “Brand.”  It looks like I have a lot more 
selectors to find and use, but at least now I think I know how to proceed.

Would there be a disadvantage to just using the

        .navbar a {
                color:white !important;
        }
though?  Sure would be easy.

Thanks again!

Theophan
