How do I change the link color in php?

Hey all,

I'm not a PHP dude, and though I DID try this on my own, I've been very unsuccessful so far.

This is the site I'm setting up: Insider Fitness Blog

What I'm trying to do is change the color of the hyperlinks to blue (#0000FF).

As of now, if you look at the first 3 words of the post on the main page (which I hyperlinked as an example so you see easily see as a reference), the hyperlink color is almost a light-navy color.

So, how do I make these hyperlinks BLUE like regular links? (Or any color, for that matter?)

Thanks so much for any help!

    It's not a php problem. It's a css problem.

    Open the css stylesheet and add the following line of code: (or check if it is already available)

    a {
    color: #0000ff;
    }

      I checked and this doesn't appear in the stylesheet as of now. Where do I add this at?

      Under the "Typography" area, there's this code:
      a:link, a:visited {text-decoration: none;}

      a:hover {
      text-decoration: underline;
      }

      Not sure if that's related to the color, but it's as close to the code you suggested as I could find...


      PS- I guess I'm really NOT a PHP dude

      Yeah, I suppose that you need to use standard codes to define the link color.
