Hi there, you can use the following in Wu Wei to change the color of the menu item text.
```
.menu-main a {
    color: #66dd33;
}
```
There is also a borderline that is above the current page item. If you wish to also change the color of that, then add the following also.
```
.menu-main .current_page_item a {
    border-color: #66dd33;
}
```
Excuse my obnoxious green demo color. :)

thank you! do i just place this code in the “customize” section, “css” – i don’t see all the code when i go there – someone at wordpress was trying to help me, and now all the code is gone except some of the modifications.

also, i would like to not have the dates with the posts – is there a way to take those off? i wish there was a button on the area where you can adjust how the date looks…

Hi there, if you go to Appearance > Customize > CSS and look in the black band at the top, on the right you will see “Revisions”. If you click on that, it will bring up a list of previously saved CSS and will have the theme name beside the date. You can restore earlier revisions from there, or look at them to see previous changes. Since CSS is theme specific, only work with those for the current theme you are using.

Yes, just go to Appearance > Customize > CSS and copy and paste the CSS I gave above and then you can edit the colors as you desire.

To hide the dates under the post titles on the left of the content, add the following CSS.
```
.timestamp {
    display: none;
}
```
If you are not familiar with the web inspector in your browser, take a look at our support page on How to Find Your Theme’s CSS where you will find some brief screencasts to get you started with it. I find it an invaluable tool when working with CSS.
