change post links but not post title?

hi there.
i am trying to alter my css so that when you hover over a link within a post, it turns to #1E9OFF. Also, right now the links within my posts are serif, and i would like them to be sans-serif (without changing the post titles to sans-serif). I’ve been trying and experimenting all day with no luck!

here is my site: https://www.areyoumodest.com

here is my css:
