style.css
You’d be looking for or creating something along these lines…
.post a,.post a:link,.post a:visited {
color:#f00;
text-decoration:underline;
}
.post a:hover,.post a:active {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
}
Or possibly..
.entry a,.entry a:link,.entry a:visited {
color:#f00;
text-decoration:underline;
}
.entry a:hover,.entry a:active {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
}
Depending on what class your theme relies on.
Adjust color and text-decoration as required..

Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.
Oops, not quite solved after all.
Not sure if you are still plugged into my challenge, or if I need to create a new post.
I have scrolled through the style sheet at least a dozen times without finding any kind of code that looked like what you’ve indicated above.
The only thing that is written that even uses the word link is:
.more-link {
clear: both;
display: block;
margin-top: 30px;
margin-left: 20px;
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #88897b;
background: url(images/more-link.png) no-repeat left center;
padding-left: 30px;
And I think this has to do with expanding posts or going to other posts, rather than linking to a URL. Where else might I find it, any ideas?
Right now, when I make a link in a post, it is underlined, in the same color as the rest of the text.
Thanks if you can keep helping!

Like i said before, if it’s not there already, then add it into the stylesheet, try each one of the examples i gave.
If neither work please provide a link to your page..
Thanks. It did work: the links changed color. The links are still underlined, but they are a different color.
Oddly, it also changed the color of the header for the post and added an underline. I’m not wild about that look. So now I have two more questions:
1) How do I keep the Post title from changing color and having the underscore?
2) Is it possible to remove the underline so that the link is just a different color test?
You’ve been so responsive, I’m really thankful.

I tried the second suggestion you made, and this solved the problem with the post headlines changing. So try both before writing, yes, I know.
Still not sure how to remove the underscore within the text, but I’ll try to sort it out. Thanks again for your good suggestion.
*, *:link, a, a:link {text-decoration:none}
Should grab most links and remove the underline…
Then just set the underline when you need it…
EXAMPLE:
.mycssclass a {text-decoration:underline}
etc etc…
