  Hi,

  Thanks for reading and for any help in advance.

  I would like to alter the default link hover colour on my theme first and foremost.

  Please refer to the link colours on my tumblr: http://lesangfroid.tumblr.com/

  These were made custom by a friend. I would like a similar look on my current wordpress blog but only when hovering over the link rather than a permanent yellow on all links.

  I hope this is clear but I can elaborate.

  Thanks again.

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

  Ah I can clarify using the example of the following page:

  http://wordpress.com/#!/fresh/

  The same effect when hovering over such links but a brighter yellow similar to the tumblr blog linked above. Thank you.

  managed to create desired effect using below code pasted from tumblr:

  a:hover {
  background: #FFFF33;
  text-decoration: none;
  }

  However, I am having trouble locating the various link font colours on the theme to change a neutral black or grey. What type of coding would I look for to locate, for example, the red font colour when hovering over the date and ‘Leave a Comment’ links on my blog?

  Any help appreciated.
