    Greetings from Marianne at along the side of the road,

    Looking for the code to change the hyperlink colour in the Motif theme please. Blog I need help with is https://alongthesideoftheroad.wordpress.com/
    I already know where to find the hex colour codes for the actual colour so if someone could reply with an example using any hex colour code, that would be terrific.

    Thanks much, Marianne

    Hello there!

    I believe that a Custom Design upgrade or a Premium plan are required for that customization.

    With any of the above you should be able to edit the CSS of your blog. Then you could add the following:

    a {

color: #CCCCCC;

}

    That would make the links colour gray.
    To change the colour of links when they are hovered, clicked, visted and other states, you can use a:hover; a:active; a:focus; a:visited and etc.
    More selectors can be found here.

    Depending on the theme you could also change only the links in a specific section, such as the blog post area or the right toolbar. In that case we would need to know more about your needs to help you further…

    Hope I helped you somehow.

    Thanks mendesbox for the reply, it did help. I’m a bit of a newbie still and was getting HTML and CSS stuff confused, even after reading the “read me first” posts at the start of this forum haha!
    I do only have a free theme and plan right now so won’t be able to do the editing you showed above. I know sometime last year I had seen somewhere how to change hyperlink colors and did it on my site but must have through some HTML editing. Now I guess I’ll just need to somehow find that same info I saw last year!
    Thank you anyway for trying, very much appreciate it … Marianne
