How do I know what can be changed in my theme?

    Hi, I’ve been trying to change the css styling in my theme and it’s not working for me. How can I tell whether it’s because I’m doing something wrong or if it’s because my particular theme does not allow the changes I’m trying to make. I use chrome “inspect element” option. I identify the part I want to change and copy the element from the “Style” box to my css editor and nothing happens. I’m trying for instance to change the colors of the links in the Twenty Ten theme. Thanks!

    Hello there,

    If you want to change the color of links on posts, you would use this:

    .entry-content a {
    color: orange;
}

    Change the color of the links in the widget areas? Sure thing.

    .widget-area ul ul li a {
    color: purple;
}

    Don’t worry! Experiment as much as you want.
