Hello,
For some reason, the CSS edit I made didn’t seem to take – well, not completely. I want all my headers black. If I look at my blog in preview mode, the post header is black, but that seems to be the only place it took. Did I do something wrong? Also, does wordpress have a color chart somewhere? Your codes seem a little different than the other ones I’ve found. Lastly, can I change a category title or do I have to go in manually and change them all post-by-post? Thanks very much for your help! Oh one more thing! How can I add a line under my custom photo masthead that reads…

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

On the main page of the site, the titles for the posts are a link and on the single post pages, it is not a link, so that means there are two places the color has to be changed. Add this to your CSS to change the title color on the main posts pages.
```
.entry-title a {
color: #2C2C33;
}
```

Also, does wordpress have a color chart somewhere? Your codes seem a little different than the other ones I’ve found.

Colors are set by the theme author. Each theme is unique and so there are a really wide variety of color codes used across the entire WordPress.com theme collection.

Check out this article for an explanation for how common color codes work:

You can change a category name from the Posts → Categories page in your blog dashboard and it will change the category name everywhere. You don’t need to manually change them all post-by-post if you update a category name through Posts → Categories.

One way to do this would be to use a tagline and move it into place with CSS.

First go to Appearance → Header and check the option that says, “Show header text with your image.” Then go to Settings → Genera and add a tagline.

After you have header text showing, add this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS to style it and move it around.
```
.header-image-link {
	padding-bottom: 40px;
}
#masthead {
	margin-top: -52px;
}
.site-title {
	text-align: left;
	text-indent: -9999px;
}
.site-description {
	display: block;
	width: 984px;
	position: absolute;
	top: 330px;
	margin-left: -114px;
	text-align: center;
	font-size: 20px;
	letter-spacing: 10px;
}
```
Note that I made this example using a test blog, and so you will probably need to adjust most of the numbers to make it work with your setup.
