[Theme Twenty-Twelve] Lost my blue hyperlinks in 2012 theme

    I’m a blogger, with essays being most of my blog content. I upgraded to WP 3.6 today, as well as the 2012 theme’s version 1.2. I’m assuming it’s the upgrade to the 2012 theme that has made me lose the blue color of the hyperlinks on my blog. I use a lot of links on my static home page to direct readers to the right essay. Right now the links are grey, which looks all washed out and unappealing. The same goes for the links to recent posts. Here is a link to my site: https://www.theclassicalgirl.com

    Strangely, a few of the “recent post” links are a slightly darker color, more black than grey, and if I hover over the title, it appears blue. (“Classical Girl’s Black Ivory Soul” and “Artist’s Debut at DFW Airport.”) This is better than remaining grey the entire time, but still not what I want.

    I really want the color added, and I’m aggravated that 2012 doesn’t offer that as an option, as 2011 does. Don’t know if they removed it in the “upgrade” or why I had it before and I don’t have it now. Can anyone help me in retrieving a blue color for the hyperlinks?

    Thanks in advance!

    (PS: I’m not code-savvy in the least, but if you can give me instructions on how to write something in, I’ll get help from my spouse and give it a try!)

    Oh, my. Oh, my. ((If you lean in close, you will hear the sound of several choruses of angels breaking into song…))

    Stacy, it worked!!!

    Boy. Can’t thank you enough. WHAT a relief to have my site looking exactly like I wanted it to. And what a relief to have the three of you here help me out and teach me how to do it myself. What a thrill. It’s not the monster I was fearing. Stacy, excellent suggestion that I hunt down an online tutorial for CSS and HTML. Now that I’ve mastered this tiny bit, I feel so much more confident.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Hello!
    I’m using twenty twelve theme and would like to change all the carts to a nice turquoise color.
    I have zip experience. No clues on css or anything else.
    I’ve set my site up in a basic way.
    Being a novice, I’d love a simple explanation on how to “code” my carts.

    I’m enjoying this learn as you go process. It’s made me so appreciative of my sites and wordpress! https://www.Thenaturalsage.com

    Thanks in advance.

    If you require assistance then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic instead of tagging onto someone else’s topic. In the meantime, do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

    I am now closing this 10 month old, resolved, topic as it references an older version of WordPress.
