# Tweaking Default Theme

 * Thanks in advance for yer assistance.
 * In any case, my problem is that having installed WordPress on my site (www.smileordie.
   l2p.net – and thanks for the ease of installation), and tweaked the default theme
   to a certain extent, there are some things I cannot figure out how to alter.
 * This is just an issue of colours, but the problem lies in the fact that I want
   to change the colour of the “posted in” text from gray which can hardly be seen
   against the gray background to a lighter shade, as well as the blue colour of
   the links. Now, I’ve managed to change the colour of the rest of the required
   bits, but I cannot for the life of me discover how to change those things. Could
   anyone help me with this?
 * My style.css can be found at:
    [http://www.smileordie.l2p.net/wp-content/themes/default/style.css](http://www.smileordie.l2p.net/wp-content/themes/default/style.css)
   if anyone needs that information.
 * Thanks again,
    Stragen.

 * I think it’s this one:
 * small, #sidebar ul ul li, #sidebar ul ol li, .nocomments, .postmetadata, blockquote,
   strike {
    color: #777;

 * Thanks, I’ll try it. My only worry about it is that checking it, #777 seems to
   be a reddy-colour, not a blue. Which is odd.
 * Alright, I’ve now figured out what’s happening. I didn’t realise that when it
   says #777 it somehow creates #777777, and having now realised that also applies
   to other colour codes, I’ve figured out that I needed to change two colours to
   the ones I want. Which I have, ahr.
 * Thanks again for your help, yayhr.

 * Oh, right. That’s the grayish colour. I see. Thanks, that did fix that bit of
   it, aye. Thank ye.
