Edit category links and improve blog appearance

    Hi, I have a few questions. I’m new at this and hope you can help. I’d like to redo my categories now that I’ve got some posts up and have figured out what I’m blogging about. How do I edit/delete the categories I’ve already created?
    Also, I’d like my post titles and text to be in black. How do I keep the site title orange, but change the other font colors?
    Lastly, is there a way for the picture sizes to be larger?

    Thanks so much. Really appreciated!

    Hi Nathalie, to keep this easier to read, I’m going to reply to each of your questions separately:

    How do I edit/delete the categories I’ve already created?

    You can edit and delete your categories under Posts > Categories in your blog’s dashboard. We have more information about how to manage them here: Managing Categories

    Also, I’d like my post titles and text to be in black. How do I keep the site title orange, but change the other font colors?

    You can use the custom colors under Appearance > Customize > Colors in your dashboard to change the colors in your theme. The text color, site description, and widget titles are controlled by the middle color on that screen. The site title, post titles, and links are controlled by the color on the right on that screen.

    You can use Custom CSS to get even more control over the colors in your theme. To add custom CSS, go to Appearance > Customize in your dashboard and select CSS from the Customize tools. In the CSS editor, you can enter the following CSS:

    #site-title a {
	color: #dd911f;
}

    That will make the site title orange, even if you change the “site title, post titles, links” color in the custom colors section.

    If you’d like more help with CSS on your site, most of our CSS support is done in our community forums by both staff and volunteers:
    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization

    You can post in that forum to get help making specific changes to your theme’s design with CSS. When you create a CSS-related help request, please make sure to select or link to the WordPress.com blog you’re working on and include a clear description of the change you’re trying to make. It really helps.

    Lastly, is there a way for the picture sizes to be larger?

    When you add an image to your posts or pages, you can select the size for that image under “Attachment Display Settings” before you insert the image. We have more about that here: Images

    You can change the size of an image you already added by adjusting the image settings from within the post or page editor: Image Settings Within Posts

    Please let me know if you have any other questions! :)
