  I would like to change the colour of my main text (articles) from red. I can’t figure out where to begin or how to do this (it’s been a while!). I want to keep all of the other colours the same if possible. My site is haningingkayaker.net.
  Thanks,

  I would like to change the colour of my main text (articles) from red.

  We can do that with CSS. If you want to change all of the main text to white, just paste the code below into the CSS box in your customizer.

  body{
  	color:#fff;
  }

  You can replace “#fff” with the hex code of whatever color you want to use.

  If you only want to change the articles, but leave the regular text in your sidebars, red, let me know and I’ll give you different code.

  Thanks for the quick reply. I want to just change the articles, not the sidebars.
  Thanks,

  This should do it for you then;

  .entry-content p{
  	color:#fff;
  }

  Let me know if you have any questions about that!

  Just one more quick question. Where I do I find out how to do these things? They seem to be hidden pretty good.

  The code that I am giving you is called CSS. It’s not “hidden” so much as a skill you can learn that gives you more ways to customize your site. If you’d like to learn more about it we have some great intro posts here:
