RE: [WSG] strange css behavior
It will be a universal issue of a link appearing as visited when it is also
referenced in a link tag in the head section in IE 7. This is not really an
RSS issue (as far as I know).

People may remember I'm working on an issue where when I click on one
link on my site http://theatomicconservative.typepad.com/ other links
such as Subscribe to this blogs feed turn red as if they were visited.
Doing more testing I started changing the page without clicking on the

still occurs. I'm wondering if this gives anyone an idea what I should

Re: [WSG] strange css behavior
Parse error is corrected. Can't change the html however in typepad so if that is the cause of the problem I'm stuck with it. I can only add new css at the bottom of the css page.
