 * I’m trying to build a website on a PC running Local so I don’t have a link for
   you to look at. I am wanting to style the Navigation menu (Primary Menu) in Header
   and also have the same items split into 2 vertical menus in the Footer (Footer
   Menu 1 and Footer Menu 2)
 * Initial state (text black with no underline)
   Hover state (text #AFA8BA with no
   underline)Ancestor state for Header for sub menu (text black with underline)Active
   state (text #323298 bold with underline)
 * Under Appearance > Styles > Typography > Links I did not see a Hover state. How
   would I go about setting this up?
 * Thanks
