Getting used to WordPress

I'm starting to adapt another site I built to WordPress's CMS. I think the most challenging part so far has been wading through the classes and ids that WordPress uses by default to style elements on the page. It just took me 45 minutes to change the color of a link because the link I was trying to style had 3 classes associated with it. Trying to reference those directly with CSS didn't work and I had to play around with the styling of other links to get the link color I wanted for that particular element.

I guess anything worth doing in life is never easy :)
