 * Small question – I can’t seem to change the HOVER colour of the heading. It’s
   red. I’ve tried changing it using a custom CSS plugin, a child theme, and I’ve
   even tried changing it in the original CSS – nothing works. So I assume I’m changing
   the wrong thing.
 * I assumed I needed to change
 * .site-title a:hover {
    color: # (my chosen HEX value) ; }
 * but that doesn’t work, so can someone tell me where it is?

 * Hello Thea,
 * Try this:
 *     ```
       .site-header > a:hover {
          color: #HEX;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps you. If not, feel free to write again.
