I really like the theme I have, but when I put a link in, it is the same color as my text. is there a way to change the color that the link is so people know that it is a link
If you need to change the color of the hyperlink, you can do so through the word press editor by highlighting the link with your mouse, then in the using your menu, select the "text color" option to change the color. That's a quick fix for a single hyperlink.
To change the color on all of your hyperlinks in css, I've found it easier to change the css through the widgets rather than the overall css for the theme. You can go your Site Manager and select Appearances->Customize->General Settings. At the bottom you should see a section called "Custom CSS" which allows you to tweak the colors and styles for your hyperlinks in a safe way.
You can edit all the colors in the theme editor that's found at your Wordpress back office under appearance -> theme editor and I think it's under style.css. Word of warning, you need to know a bit what you are doing and there's always a possibility that a theme update will override your changes.
I would personally just choose a theme that allows to change colors or use a third party editor like Thrive architect.
Often times you can't do much with the editing of the fonts unless you upgrade to the PRO version of your theme. If you are able to be should show here: Appearance > Customize > Typography.

So I know where to go to get images for my site. But I like to make Top 5 lists. I've had people tell me I should put the picture with the name. But I don't know how to use
Get affiliated with the brands and companies you promote, they should be providing you with images and resources to promote their products.
Hi - all your images need to be copyright free, and they will be difficult to find when you are talking about branded products. You can't just take them from Google or other websites.
Until you have joined an affiliate program to promote the products, you can only use generic images from Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay etc.
Remember, not all of your posts should be promotional, and relating to products. At this stage, you should be concentrating on adding purely informational posts, with no selling intent. Otherwise, Google will see your site as a "spammy" selling page.
Ive done quite a few pages with no selling stuff, but sometimes when I blank I make lists. I have a few affiliate places, I didnt know if I could use their oictures for visuals or not.
Thank you for your advice though, I try not to promote too much
Hi - if you have been approved for affiliate programs, then they should provide you with the links to the product images to place on your site.

I don't know if I'm allowed to ask questions like this or not but I'm just curious as to how long it took some of my Affiliate Friends to make their first sale from their site.
Hey Annie,
Of course you can ask this type of question. However, not many of us would share financial info.

Mine was after a few weeks and it was not a ton ... but proved to me that it works
Keep training learning asking and Enjoy

I recently put a picture on my site so anyone that visits it will see the picture. However, when I put it on there my Title and Tag line disappeared. This is not a huge deal
Hi Annie, I believe for most themes, if you use an image instead of just text, then you can't have the Title and Tag Line show up. It's one or the other.
in your WP click on Appearances then Customize
Once there you click on Site Identity and you can change your Title and Tag line there.
