If you look at the code, the box size is 250×200. The problem is that it doesn’t resize the image, and it takes the original size of the image (as opposed to the resized image in the blog post). There is a theme that uses an image that you establish as the image you want for the index picture by marking it as “thumb” under custom fields.

I don’t know php, so I’m not sure if I could tweak the code myself. It would be interesting to have that option, though.

Jauhari, it has not. ??

A very light blue doesn’t look bad. This hex code is: #236B8E

See here: https://www.economicthought.net/?p=23

A tried dark blue at first and it came out terrible. This doesn’t look bad, and you can actually see the links. I think subtle variations of any color will look good. The less is contrasts, the better.

Open style.css.

The relevant code is:


a:link, a:visited {
color: #0000;
text-decoration: none;


To change the color, change the hex number.

Thanks! Got it; it was single.php

Just thought I’d bump this for a response. Thanks!

To specify, the code I have so far is:

I don’t know where to add it so that appears in each individual post.
