 * How do I change the “continue reading” text color, specifically from the default
   red to orange (#ff8914)?

 * Hi,
 * Try adding this CSS code to **Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS** from 
   dashboard.
 *     ```
       .entry-summary a.more-link:not(:hover) {
         color: #ff8914;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps.

 * Thank you for the reply. I don’t think that ended up working. Tried looking in
   a few different places and changing the color code a bit and didn’t notice any
   difference anywhere.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for getting back.
 * Can you share a link to the page needing help with, so I can inspect which CSS
   selector to use?
 * Or, it may be just a cache issue at your end, that should be flushed?

 * The page is [https://joerich.tech](https://joerich.tech) (all of the content 
   is placeholder, but the format is correct for what I want). If you happen to 
   have a suggestion on how to move the blog post categories higher, I would really
   appreciate that as well (e.g. the first post has the tags “All, School and Education”,
   and I would like to move this to be right below the post date and my name). Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for getting back.
 * I checked your website and the code seems to be working fine. I noticed you have
   an active cache and perhaps it prevents your web browser to load the recent changes
   have made. Please try clearing cache, restarting web browser, and running your
   check.

 * Yes I see that now. Reloading the browser did the trick. Thank you!
