This is the source i found on my posts page:
div.post-headline h1 a:hover {
color: #000000;
background-color: #f8fbbd
text-decoration: none; }
Apparently I've not done something correct because it will work on the PAGE links (which is handy to find in the theme options), but I can't seem to get it to function on the actual posts headline.
I'm basically trying to get that yellow color to show up in the background in the hover state.
