 * Hi!
 * I am a somewhat computer savvy individual who hosts my own fashion blog using
   WordPress.org and recently installed a new theme that has required me to do some
   CSS customization. I am somewhat familiar with html so I have been able to piece
   together some of the changes I wanted to make like changing the color of links,
   hover, highlighting, and some text. But, there are a few things I haven’t been
   able to figure out how to change the color of. I don’t need to change font type,
   only color.
 * 1. The “Read More” and “Post Comment” buttons are the correct background color,
   but I can’t change their outline color.
    2. The date of each post is displayed
   in the wrong color. 3. The search bar and comment box both are outlined in yellow
   when you click to type. 4. While all the other links in my post changed colors,
   the links to my pages (e.g. About, Instagram) on my header did not change and
   must need a separate code.
 * Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated, or even links to good 
   resources to find these answers.
 * My theme is “Backyard”, and my website is linked below.
