  Hi, is there a way to change font colours on links using the WordPress Menu toolbar – ie so I don’t have to manually put in the HTML tags on every link?

  thanks

  The only way to change font colors throughout the whole blog is to purchase an annually renewable CSS editing upgrade and do the work yourself.

  If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to wordpress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.

  Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.

  If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

  If you do purchase the upgrade be sure to read this article before starting your editing > http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

  In theory you can use the font-color icon on the lower row of tools in the visual editor, but it has not been working right lately as it is putting the color tags outside of the link cold, which does not work anymore. The color code has to actually be right around the text you want to use as the link (nested in the link code).

  You can give the font color icon a try and see if they have fixed that issue or not.
