  My question is quite specific to a theme and I couldn’t find my answer. I am using the McKinley theme seen here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/mckinley/. I am using the all around free version.

  I have found the option to change the color of the title, but the subtitle seems to always stay grey. Now when editing the color, then entire title as well as the subtitle all change to my desired white color, but when I hit save and as soon as I go back to my page the subtitle turns grey again. Now is that something that cannot be changed for this layout or am I doing something wrong?

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

  WordPress.com sells custom design upgrades. They allow us to “preview” change that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.

  If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.
