how do I change my themes font?

How do I change the link and hover colors? What if I want to do a custom color palete? How do I do this?

You would do it in your stylesheet. Since I don’t know which theme you are using or your website, I can’t be more specific than that.

If you provide me with a link to your site, or let me know which theme you are using, I can tell you what you should be looking for in your code.

The default font on Minimum can be found by searching for this in your stylesheet:

font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;

Replace that font with the font of your choice.

For link and hover colors look for this:

/* Hyperlinks
------------------------------------------------------------ */

a,
a:visited {
 -moz-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
 -webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
 color: #ed702b;
 font-weight: 700;
 text-decoration: none;
 transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

a:hover {
 color: #3e3e3e;
 text-decoration: none;
}

The colors are the 6 digit (or 3 digit) numbers with the # in front of them.

Any color can be changed to the colors of your choice.

Thank you. and a few more questions:

on the featured image: It’s not showing on my homepage next to the posts. I changed layotus and it shows fine all my previous posts w/ featured images from the past template. I just tried making a blog today and sized the image very small (smaller than the others on ohter pages) but it’s still showing so huge it’s taking up the whole screen.

How can I solve this?

this is an example of the large featured image

In the theme settings it’s set for “featured image” as “home top which is like 400x 200″

It’s still not displaying featured images on the front page

In addition I put the code snipped to remove the site description and header and it’s still not gone from the front page
