This is a really brief answer, but should get you started on the right
track to thinking about the "C" in CSS =)
First, some house work: "id" must be unique, "class" can be reused on any
number of elements.
Second, the following demonstrates the use of the cascade - "C" - to color
the author class:
a:hover .author {color:#fff;}
Create similar rules begninning with a:hover to apply the styles you want
to anything contained within the a element.
kind regards,
