Actually I don't want to change font and colour. I want them as they are by default. Something happened to make them look so (see the circle in my image). The font and colour should look like the links below "recent posts" menu (greyish instead of purple and different font)

I went through settings for appearance. There's nothing there that changes font and colour of the "recent posts" menu. But it somehow got changed by itself and I can't undo it!

I think those who use Chateau would understand the problem.

Me waits.

Links have the default link color of Windows, and the previously visited links are purple as usual. As I don' t use the Chateau theme, I don' t know if the colors can be changed, but I suggest you to take a look at the Appereance menu, you may find something changes them.

Please take a look at the following: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j320/sojhla/blog_zps654bd1e1.jpg

So I reviewed a lot of new themes but decided I'd like to stick to Chateau. When I reloaded my home page the font and colour under "Recent Posts" section were all messed up. I didn't do anything to make them look so. Can anyone help with getting back the original way it looked?

Thanks

Use Zemanta. You can enable that on your dashboard under Settings, I believe, or you can install it as a browser add-on. It slows things down a bit, but will offer you the same kind of options. You can configure the browser add-on to ONLY display links from your own blog, or a chosen circle of blogs.

Feeling creatively stifled with the lack of ability to add these features. Content is being buried in archive without the ability to feature prominently. I know I'm preaching to the choir.

Do you know if upgrading the theme would do the trick? Or is that just font and color changes? Do you know if any themes have that feature installed?
Thanks again.
