  Is there a plain theme with normal link colours? The one I’m using is OK for unclicked links, but shows clicked links as just bold, with no colour.

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

  Hi there,

  Have you taken a look at any of our clean themes, that have simple designs and many of them have standard color schemes?

  Take a look and let us know if there any that stand out to you.

  Thanks,

  It’s a while since I changed style. Not sure how to “take a look”. Eg, Twenty Twenty says “Activate this theme”. What happens if I do? Can I find out what my blog would look like in, say, that theme experimentally without a difficult-to-reverse change?

  Every theme has the possibility to see a live demo, e.g. https://twentytwentydemo.wordpress.com/

  For instance, I was looking at themes in View Admin on my Android phones, and now my blog has changed appearance! How do I change it back?

  Hi there,

  I checked and it doesn’t show that you changed themes. When I mean “take a look at”, I am referring to simply browsing the themes and seeing if any of them catch your eye. You do not have to activate the theme in order to check and see how it looks on your site.

  In addition to the live demo @starrtmees refers to, there is a try and customize option:

  

  Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks,

  I think I tried Preview. Now the image at the top of my page and posts has disappeared. (Looking at it on my Android phone.)

  Yeah, I currently do not see a header image. What was the image you had at the top? The colorful image?

  Currently, you have no header image set.

  You can set that under the Header Image section at https://soothfairy.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php

  Yes, thanks – I just did that. Thing is, that’s how it was until I previewed a different theme. It seems dangerous to try anything on an Android phone.

  Going back to my OP, I didn’t find a plain free theme with bold links with standard colours: blue; and purple for used links.

  Hi there,

  With those specific color combinations and font configurations, upgrading to the Premium Plan to have access to CSS will be the only thing that addresses this for you. http://wordpress.com/premium

  This will allow you to change the specific font style and their colors, which you otherwise wouldn’t be able to do with that plan.

  Thanks,
