 * I’d like to add some css so when someone hovers over the links (in the footer),
   the text will change colour. What is the best custom CSS for this and where do
   I place it? In the footer.php or what?
 * Sidenote: Newbie at CSS so please bare that in mind, thank you! Fast responses
   much appreciated!

 * Also, would you know how I can do the same for other links in the website in 
   general?

 * Do you want all links to change color the same or all different.
 * Also please give an example what link(s) in your footer you want changed.
 * Thanks

 * The link colour can be the same colour throughout. At least for now anyway 🙂
 * In the footer, I’d like to a hover colour change over the first mention of ‘Elpromotions’
   and ‘Terms & Conditions’.

 * In your [Child Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or [CSS Editor Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
   try this code:
 *     ```
       body a:hover {
         color: #009900;
       }
       ```
   
 * Just edit the #009900 color I gave it.
 * **\*Note**
    If your theme has a custom CSS Editor in it, you can also paste the
   code in there.
 * Never edit core CSS or PHP files, they’ll be deleted when the theme is updated.

 * Fantastic!! Works like a charm! Thank you so much for your help!! 😀
 * Additional question: Is there a way to hover-underline the links in the footer
   too?

 * Oh it has worked, I’ve just changed the colours to slight different shades of
   grey. I can always adjust them whenever though.

 * Oh, ok yes you can.. plus you have a cache plugin so it might not appear to users
   right away
