  Hello, I’m a bit of CSS novice – and want to change the colours of my Freshy blog.

  So I went through piece by piece – entering the colours into a html colour generator and changing accordingly.

  I did this quite carefully – but the links on the right hand side, (search, links, blogroll etc) dont seem to have change colour. Could anyone point me in the direction of the code for this.

  Also, if someone coloud give me the low down on how to change the main font in the header I’d really appreciate it!

  Thanks!!!

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

  As you are just beginning and as the volunteer who usually helps with CSS editing has published a helpful post I’m providing the link to it http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

  thanks for that – I have a search through your comments but cant find anything specific to the bars on the right-hand side of my blog.

  Any chance you could so kindly point me in the direction of the code for the right-hand side of my blog (search, links, blogroll etc)

  your blog is v interesting, helpful to know just how little you can put in. I wasnt pasting the whole thing, but was copying ‘paragraphs’ into the code. will have to go back and clean it up at some point!

  Thanks

  abimellor,

  You seem to have figured the links color out. Correct?

  hi devblog,
  No! They are still the original orange colour – i want to change them to something more girly!! :-)

  Heeeeeeelp!

  Also, would you be so kind as to show me how to change the font of the main header. Where do i find a list of web safe fonts??

  Thanks in advance!

  Thank you, abimellor!

  Regarding your links, I see them they’re black and purple when hovered… I see them like that on both your posts and sidebar. Would you direct me to where you see them orange?

  The most common fonts are:

  Sans-serif
  Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, Verdana.

  Serif
  Georgia, Times New Roman, Times.

  To change the font of the blog title, say to Times New Roman, you’d do it like this:

  In your “#title h1” selector change this:

  font-family:helvetica;

  to this:

  font-family: "Times New Roman";

  HTH

  @devblog
  I notice that the titles of the widgets in the sidebar are orange. Perhaps that’s what abimellor wants to change the color of.

  Thank you TT.

  abimellor, if what you want to do is to change the title color on the sidebar as TT says, then this is the code to do so:

  .title {color: #f0f !important;}
