    Hello,
    I did a search but nothing came up.
    I am using the mustard color in the Lifestyle Pro theme.
    The links are that color but are not easy to read.
    I would like to change the, but don't know where to find that.
    If someone could let me know where I can find that in the code, that would be excellent.

    Thank you

    Use Firebug to find the right classes and test the color change in your browser before modifying your code.

    Brad,

    Thanks for the reply. I am not familiar with Firebug.

    Picking the color is not a problem, it's knowing where to make the change that I need help with.

    Please install the Firebug extension and watch the video i linked to.

    You will need to learn how to use a tool like this if you want to customize your CSS yourself.

    Brad,
    Thanks for the information, but where is the link?

    Also, when I moved from Prose to Lifestyle, the text was light and I posed a question on here asking how to make it darker.

    Someone told me to go into the editor at around line 144 and change the current color (I don't remember what it was) to 000000 if I want black text, which I did.

    Isn't there any way to do the same thing for the links?

    Well, I did it!

    I installed Firebug, or at least I think I did because it says it should show up on the right side of my address bar but I did not see it.

    However, looking at the tutorial on it (thanks for the link Brad), it looks like when I right click on something in Firefox and I get the "Inspect Element" option.

    So, I did that instead. I opened two windows, one logged into my WordPress site, and the other on the webpage. I highlighted a link and right clicked and clicked on inspect element. Then on the right hand side I could see the css.

    I highlighted that and hit copy. On the other window where I was logged in, I went to Genesis, then Editor. Then I hit CTRL F and hit "paste". It brought me to the highlighted element and I changed the code to what I wanted and it worked for the whole site.
