  Hi there:

  My blog is http://www.violapayne.wordpress.com. I really like the theme a lot but find that the blue is too boyish for me. I want something girlish. I found two HTML color codes that i want to try #FE2E9A and #FA58AC. Unfortunately I have not been successful in modifying the CSS. If you look at the theme what i want is for everyting that’s blue to be pink – blue fonts should be pink and blue bar be pink too. The white stuff and everything else can stay the same. If i could do this i’d be so happy. I have another blog so i know how to do the rest of hte stuff, have just always been rather scared of CSS.

  Thank you :)

  The blue bar isn’t a color declaration, it is actually two images. You would have to recreate those two images to the exact dimensions of the originals with your chosen colors.

  The color for all the text links (blue) are set here.

  a {
  color: #6DCFF6;
  }

  One note: The pinks you have chosen are much more difficult to read (less contrast) on the dark background color. You are probably going to have to adjust those to a lighter shade.
