Links color won’t change?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I paid $75 for a custom theme called Lifestyle and I the color I select for the Links does not change ever…even when trying the suggestion of two other browsers besides Chrome…Safari and FIrefox also didn’t allow it to work. I would like a refund and am disappointed that you would even offer something that doesn’t function?

I took a look and everything is working properly.
Your current link colors are set to blue, which they are right now on your site.You can follow the exact steps in this guide to learn more about the Custom Colors.
We are only able to offer a refund if we receive notification within 30 days of the purchase.

I am not sure you fully read my issue…I reverted back to the free Brand New Day theme and yes my links are set to blue. The custom theme I purchased is called Lifestyle and it is not currently active because I was unable to customize the colors. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to set it back to Lifestyle so you can see what I mean?
I purchased Lifestyle a few days ago and if I can’t get it working right I want a refund.

I see. Could you please set the Lifestyle theme so I can take a look?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Okay…it is set back to Lifestyle for now…and the links seem to be set to olive green and are unchangeable???
-
The colors were reset when changing themes. Could you please try and set the colors again at https://dianedalenberg.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php#color ? Once you’re done you can click the [Save and Publish] button.

I don’t get what I did wrong (because upon switching back and forth from themes I always attempted to recustomize the colors) but it seems to be working well now…thanks!

One more question…I have a friend that wants to start a blog on WordPress using the free options. Do you have an easy one page doc that I could send her for how to start her own free WordPress blog??

Thank you! Also, can you tell me how I can remove the “Secondary Sidebar Widget Area” on my Resources page? It is annoying because I didn’t select a widget yet it still displays the box and squishes my content to a narrow column.

What did you do that I wasn’t doing? Do I need to refresh or something after I make a change on the Dashboard? I thought change was immediate. And is it possible to widen the content area with this theme and not have as much of the bookshelf background on the sides?
Can I get your opinion on the overall appearance of the Lifestyle theme vs. the Brand New Day theme? I just need an outsider to give me their two cents on effective look of site, since I am so engulfed in it.

When editing a page you can select a Layout Setting (located just below the Visual Editor). Yours was selected to show two sidebars. There are 5 layout options in total.
You can learn more about the features of Lifestyle at http://themes.wordpress.com/themes/lifestyle
I honestly think Lifestyle looks great on your blog. Also you can easily customise the layout in case you decide to make it look differently.

Thanks so much. I present my Master’s Degree project next week and so needed to hear your feedback on the layout..thanks! I will play around with the layout options.

I was reading the Learn More section and found something under the Lifestyle Color Theme that doesn’t seem to be available when I go back to edit my site…it says:
You can also choose an appropriate header, or upload your own using the customize header tool.
Is there where I could change the pixels which would change the width of the layout? -
I changed the layout and am now back to the same layout and my link colors are now unchangeable again??? How do I get them back to blue?
