how do I get the links on my wordpress site to go blue

you can do this by adding: <font color="blue">this would be the hyper link color</font> - this is one way to do it.

I do it in the post editor, I simply highlite the link text and choose font color from the tool menu and select blue.

hi there, if it is amazon store links, go to create store- edit coloure and design. hope this helps.

Hi,

Much depends on where the links are located on your blog. Links in
different sections, of a page, can have different colors and other
features.

I've changed link colors and features a number of times.

You will (most likely) need to edit the style.css file located with your
theme files. Easy enough to find.

Before doing anything - make a copy of that file. Rename it something
else and put it in a different folder altogether just to be on the safe
side. Like, style1.css.

Then, right click on the the original style file and open with notepad.

The css is structured so you will (may) have different parameters, possibly,
for links in different sections of your pages.

The link parameters will be in the appropriate sections - important. So do not
assume you edit one and the change will be everywhere.

The css coding is fairly intuitive as to the sections of the page to which they
are relevant.

Here is an example:

/* begin PostHeader */
.PostHeader a:link
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: left;
color: #F10E29;
}

.PostHeader a:visited, .PostHeader a.visited
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: left;
color: #F10E29;
}

.PostHeader a:hover, .PostHeader a.hovered
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: left;
color: #F10E29;
}
/* end PostHeader */

****************************************

As you can see, you can change the colors of the link
text for all three stages: normal, post click, and hover.

You see the hex color codes? Be sure to include the
"#" sign before the hex codes.

You can look up web safe hex color codes at Google.

It's pretty easy. Make the changes, just hit 'save,' and ftp.

Or you can use the file edit feature in your dashboard. Up
to you.

Be sure to make a copy of the file before doing anything.

Simply use the <font color="blue"> code around it and it will go blue. You can get it to underline with the <u> code.

Clarifications

All WP installs have an Appearance menu in the wp-admin
Not all WP themes have their own "Options" page
Adding inline style definitions to the posts is... OK, the forum rules won't allow me to say what I think ---

Read Ken's post! That's the right way to find/learn/do it.
Copy and save it for yourself to have it handy...

Warriors are the kindest people on the net

- OP only ask a single line question, yet received so many detailed answers
- OP can google that, and get the answers easily

and yet

- This topic is in the wrong forum

That's why people will always ask random questions on Main Forum (although there's more appropriate subforum), because Warriors are nice people


Btw, as for me, I use firebug to know why this link on this page isn't blue, and change that on the editor.

Generally it'll also change the link's color on the whole site

jamawebinc referenced the "decoration" that can appear in your code.
Watch out that it is not set for

style="text-decoration:none"

on a global or per page basis. That can cause links to be not blue and
not underlined!

Hi there! The default link color is always blue in WordPress. But when the post is published, the color of the link depends on the link style sheet attributes. Go to the style sheet and Change the link style with the "text-color" property.

You can use css:

a {
color: blue;
}
