  After I click on any link on my blog, they change to a grey color. How can I get them to stay blue. They stay changed even after reloading the page or visiting it at a later date.

  Hey there!

  It’s the default on your theme that visited links display as a different color, so your visitors know whether they’ve clicked/read them or not.

  If you’d like to change this, you can do so by changing your theme’s CSS code. You’re able to do this, since you have the Custom Design feature as part of your Premium upgrade.

  If you’d like to give this a try, click Appearance → Customize in your site’s Dashboard. Then, click CSS in your right-hand menu. In the CSS Revisions box, please paste the following underneath all existing text:

  a:visited {
  color: 007693;
  }

  Then Save your changes.

  That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)

  Hey!
  thanks so much for your response! Unfortunately, as the links now return to that color, the menu buttons (home, resources, etc.) change to the blue after being “visited” instead of reverting to their original color. Is there another piece of code I can add that will revise this?
  Thanks!

  Hey there,

  It appears as if you’ve already found and added CSS code that keeps the menu items from turning blue. Are you all set with this, or can I help further?

  Please let me know. Many thanks!
