  Is there any way to make the color of my site title change when hovering the mouse pointer?

  I use Ixion theme. In the Menu, there’s only ‘About page’. So, the ‘site tile’ plays as ‘home page’. When click on ‘site title’, it returns to all of my posts. But to stand out, Site title must change its color when hover the mouse pointer: https://postimg.org/image/gsss7vqex/

  In Customizing, I choose Your latest post for front page displays: https://postimg.org/image/4ffy0z0qh/

  Thanks

  My wordpress blog is a free subdomain like http://www.myblogname.wordpress.com

  It is possible, yes – using Custom CSS, which is part of a Premium Plan or Business Plan.

  Under one of those plans, you can add this snippet to My Site > Customize > CSS:

  .site-title a:hover {
      color: #b24400;
  }

  The color can be swapped out with your own HTML color code if needed :)

  Thanks for your answer, Chad1008. In case that I do not upgrade my free wordpress subdomain, I cannot change the hover color, right?

  You’re welcome!

  That is correct, you would need access to the Custom CSS I mentioned to make this change.
