Hi,
1. Those links all have the class sitelink on them. You'll want to look for something like this in the css files (probably in stylemojo.css)
.sitelink,a.sitelink:link,a.sitelink:visited { ...}
and set the color there.
2. I would look in your layout.master file, if you see something like this try removing it:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />
Hope that helps,
Joe
