  I was wondering when I insert a link in one of my posts (like Adapted from …. or when siting a cookbook etc) is there a way for the link to be another color so that my readers know they can click on it and be forwarded to it? Thank you for your help.

  Yes, you can do that. In the toolbars above the writing box, you’ll see a capital A with an underline. (If you only see one toolbar, click the button on the right hand side that says “toggle” and the other one will appear.) Hover your cursor above it, and you’ll see that it says “text color.” Click on the little arrow, and a dropdown menu will show you the default colors.

  Highlight your link, click the color you prefer, and you’re all set. It’s possible to customize colors even more, but that should get you started.

  Hi Mary Ann

  You could try adding the following custom CSS:

  .site a {
  color: #90c4eb;
  }

  You can find more color values at -http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp

  Please note that this will also change the color of all links on your site.

  Let me know if this works for you.

  Thanks Gavin! I fixed it in the toolbar, but I will keep that in mind too! Have a great day!
