  I am new to WordPress and I’m a little surprised that there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the color of my links within posts. I also blog on Squarespace and Blogger and you can change hyperlinks color on each of those platforms. Can you not do this with WordPress or am I just not finding it? I searched the forums and can’t find anything. I’m using the theme Tarski.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. You can use the visual editor to change colors (second row of icons):

  …or the HTML editor and insert special code:

  Formatting text pt. 5: color, size, and font

  I didn’t want to have to manually change the links color for every post, though, using the visual editor. I wondered if there was a “setting” where you could stipulate which color you want all links in your posts to be.

  That feature only exists on certain themes (such a Vigilance):

  …or with the custom CSS upgrade and a good knowledge of the CSS language.
