Many thanks

Here is a list of basic colors:

Here is a color picker you can use to get color codes:

Changing the color scheme of WordPress.com themes are a snap once Custom Colors support has been added. Check out how it works here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-colors/

I would recommend waiting for the colors update in your case because you're going to love it. However, I can totally walk through updating all the colors with CSS manually now if you'd like too.

Here is a CSS example that will change out the base link colors in the Ever After to colors I picked out that seem to match up with your current header image:

a {
	color: tomato;
}
a:hover {
	color: darkgoldenrod !important;
}

To try it out, add the CSS to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor and click the Preview button.

thanks...

(2) Please read what I already stated above in "Note:" Unless you purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade and do the required CSS editing this is a "no can do".

(2) I didn't notice this so cheers! But the main problem is in the titles, tags and in the Twitter widgets. Any ideas?

(3) I'm a student haha.

Thank you.

(1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the HTML editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/

(3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

Note: A few themes do provide for changing font color in the Blog Title and/or optional Tagline and/or links. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/color-customisable-themes/ In the majority of themes font changes to font families, colors and size in the blog title, tagline, menu, post titles, page titles, categories and tags, widget headings, comments, and links cannot be done without CSS editing.

This is the solution for Triton LIte.

.lay1 > div .post-content, #posts {
color: #000000;
}

I'm using the Triton Lite theme and wanted to change the blog's font color to black, because the default version is light grey and pale.
Now, I'm a complete newbie to CSS. When one goes to Design -> Custom Design -> CSS, we have this stylesheed editor. On the bottom you can view the original stylesheet.
As a noob, I open this and copy (for example) this

body {
background: #edeef0;
color: #7f7f7f;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
</p> <p>into the editor. But whatever I copy and change (here: color: #00000), nothing happens. This is with all changes I make (font size in footer area). </p> <p>Please help if it's not too stupid :)</p> <p>The blog is http://sweetguitars.wordpress.com (as you can see, wordpress hosted).</p> <p>Thanks :)

Thanks for offering, Timethief. It was very helpful to discover that a thing like "visual editor," even existed. That was helpful, but I think you are right, I will need the Custom upgrade. Thanks for your help.

I'm not implying that you guys aren't doing your job. Its a fine and impressive job. It is just hard for some beginners to navigate all these links. And some of us, me for example, have really, really dumb questions that we're not even sure we know how to fully explain what it is we're trying to do.

All I wanted to know was is there a phone-in tech support option (like Go Daddy and Apple have). Thank you for your help and please don't take offense.

Some of us volunteers also offer paid custom support, like me, but we're not free.

The Links widget IS the blogroll widget. You do not need both. And the Links widget will only include images if you upload images; not images of the blog posts, but buttons. Some blogs provide buttons, and some don't. Our links widget doesn't "draw" from the bloggers' posts and create a thumbnail.

If you want to exclude blogs from your Links widget, you can delete them in the bulk editor on your dashboard under Links.

I know this sounds dumb to computer people, but it really is easier for some of us to talk to another human being in real time. It's the difference between learning to knit from a book and learning to knit while your grandmother sits next to you and talks you through it. I wish WordPress had that option but I guess it doesn't.

Because as kind and thorough as you were, Timethief, I really have done a lot of those things. For instance, I have added the widgets for both links and blog rolls, and both are on my blog (do I need both?) but neither includes thumbnail pictures of those blogs. Also, it lists all the blogs I follow, where I would like to only include the blogs that relate to the subject material of my blog. So, see? Stupid stuff like that.

But I guess I'll go to the oxygen forum and flip through several pages of links there (which I have done in the past and which makes me dizzy after a few minutes). I'm only saying this cuz some web-saavy types really could make a killing by offering live phone help. Just sayin'.

what the __ is the difference between links and blogrolls

You create a Blogroll in your dashboard Links section. http://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/add-a-blogroll-link/ You display it in a Links widget. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/links-widget/

why a picture that I thought I deleted keeps re-appearing on my blog home page

We can't answer that until yoyur post a link to the blog in question. If you are referring to the blog you have with the Oxygen theme then there are threads that do provide the answer to every question about that theme http://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/oxygen

have a few questions about layout and widgets, etc.
