a:hover {
background: #FFFF33;
text-decoration: none;
}

However, I am having trouble locating the various link font colours on the theme to change a neutral black or grey. What type of coding would I look for to locate, for example, the red font colour when hovering over the date and 'Leave a Comment' links on my blog?

Any help appreciated.

The same effect when hovering over such links but a brighter yellow similar to the tumblr blog linked above. Thank you.

Thanks for reading and for any help in advance.

I would like to alter the default link hover colour on my theme first and foremost.

Please refer to the link colours on my tumblr: http://lesangfroid.tumblr.com/

These were made custom by a friend. I would like a similar look on my current wordpress blog but only when hovering over the link rather than a permanent yellow on all links.

I hope this is clear but I can elaborate.

Thanks again.
