style.css

#header ul#topcorner {
		float: right; margin: 20px 50px 0 0;	
		font: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: white; 
	}

I thought I already set the font color to white but in actual I still see a blue link font color. How to set it to white ?

You need to style the <a> tag font color. By default, linked text is blue and underlined.

style.css

#header ul#topcorner a:link{
     font: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: white;
     }

How to erase the underline ?

You should really do some studying. This is basic stuff. http://www.w3schools.com is a great place to learn the fundamentals.
