Hello,
I would like to change the color of just the widget links on my blog – georgiastudents.org

I do not want all the links on the website changed, just these. I want them to be red.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

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

The hover color for the widget links is already red, so you are probably going to want to change the hover color as well.
```
.widget a {
color: #1B8BE0;
}

.widget a:hover {
color: #FF4B33;
}
```

One other suggestion I might have is to increase the line height on your site-title a little. Since it went to two lines, “education is right up against the bottom of the first line. It might look better with just a touch more white space between lines such as below.
```
#site-title a {
line-height: 46px;
}
```
Things could also be set so that the title was all on one line, or perhaps increase the left/right padding so that the title breaks better and then center align it and center align the tagline below it.

The title should all be on one life if the screen window is full size. I don’t know why it appears this way for you…

It appears on two lines (the word education on the second line) in both Firefox and Safari on Mac. Both browsers are set to no magnification and window width wider than the blog so that isn’t the issue. Do the following, which only changes the left and right margins by 2% on each side (was 7.6% left and right), and that will take care of the issue.
```
#branding hgroup {
margin: 0 5.6%;
}
```

You are welcome, and it looks good.
