   Hiya,

   My blog is at http://theriverkelvin.co.uk/blog/

   I have a couple of questions, totally rubbish at coding and stuff like that so here is what I need to know !

   1.The numbers of posts I have is a grey colour, how do I go about changing them ?

   2. The text in the header is white which means that sometimes it cannot be read, how do I change that to another colour?

   3. I quite fancy changing the font and the colours of the actual posts themselves, how do I go about that ?

   4. I am pretty bad when it comes to designing anything, any other tips ?

   Nothing daft there !

   2. Look for this in your css file:
   h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, .description {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}

   Changing the color using a hex value will give you a greater range;
   h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, .description {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ff0000;
}

   3. Add this at the very bottom of your css file:
   .entry p {
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
}
   Those values just adjust and see what you like.

   Firstly, these are CSS questions and you're best served by reading up on CSS and HTML. Google for CSS Tutorials.

   All the solutions underneath require that you open up /blog/wp-content/themes/default/style.css and add the specified code at the bottom of the file.

   1. add li{color:#fff !important} where fff is the desired color (in this case, fff = white).

   2. add #header h1 a{
color:#ff0;
} where ff0 is the desired color (in this case, f00 = red).

   3. Add #content p
{
font-family: arial;
}

   4. Google for CSS tutorials and play around. The best way to learn is to experiment.

   Podz, you are far too quick:)

   As mentioned above, it's a good idea to put in some work to learn some of the basics of CSS/web design. And by the different answers given by me and Podz, there are multiple solutions for the same goal.

   Back up your edited files, have a play around and see how you fare. We all have to begin somewhere:)
