  I’m guessing that there might be a CSS code for doing this, but wasn’t sure how to find it; I did do a search on the CSS forum.
  I would like to change the default color of visited links on my site. Currently the default is a light gray which nearly disappears on the page — very hard to see. I would like to make the visited links a darker / more visible color. Thanks.

  Hi Rhea,

  Sure! Please add this to your CSS editor:

  .entry-content a:visited, .comment-content a:visited {
  	color: CSS COLOR VALUE;
  }

  You can choose a color by entering the Hex CSS Color Value from here:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  This is extremely cool Thanks!
  So the next question is a global one. Is there a place that lists the various changes that can be made using CSS code for my theme (2012)? Or should I just write to you all every time I have an idea about something I would like to customize, to see if it’s possible and what the coding is?

  CSS is pretty vast, so while there are guides like the Color CSS Values that I provided you, it’d be difficult to find a page with every CSS change possible.

  If you have any other changes that you would like to make, please post up a question in our CSS forum directly:
