Refresh the preview page, and if that does not do it, then try this.

a,h2 a:hover,h3 a:hover {
color:#096c34 !important;
}

a,h2 a:hover,h3 a:hover {
color:#096c34;
}

#sidebar h2 {
font-family:Verdana, Sans-Serif;
font-weight:normal;
text-indent:10px;
background-color:#096c34;
color:white;
text-transform:uppercase;
font-size:1em;
margin:0;
padding:3px 0;
}

Am I missing something? You are being so helpful, I can't thank you enough.

a, h2 a:hover, h3 a:hover {
color:#0066CC;
}

Just add that to your CSS edit window and change the hex color code. It covers the inactive color for normal links, and also the "hover" color (when the mouse pointer is over the link for the post titles. If you only want to do the links in the sidebar, footer and in posts (links you put in) then add only the following.

a {
color:#0066CC;
}

We need a link to that blog please, and also what do you mean by

Could anyone help?

So... calling CSS experts... what bit of the CSS do I need to look for to change the colour of RHS widgets. Do I trawl through the spreadsheet looking something named like, for eg: Recent Posts? I assume the text highlight colour is a universal change? If anyone can give me a bit of help I'd be forever grateful!

There are a few CSS experts to visit the forum occasionally so feel free to ask specific questions…
(unfortunately, I'm not one of them LOL.)

I’m not sure if the CSS upgrade is for me. Can I try before I buy?
Yes! Go to Appearance → Edit CSS in your dashboard. You can write or paste your own CSS stylesheet into the text box provided, and use the Preview button to see how it will look with your current theme. The CSS changes you try with the Preview function will only be visible to you, so you can test and edit to your heart’s content.

I've just started building a blog/site for my partner's business using the theme 'contempt'. Thus far it seems to deliver what I need however I'd like to be able to change the colour of the side bar widgets and highlight colour to one more in-keeping with the colours of the brand. Before I splash my cash on the CSS upgrade is it easy enough for a CSS novice to make these changes?
