 * I have links, post dates, tags, categories on my wordpress site invisible until
   the mouse cursor hovers over them how can i get these to stay visible at all 
   times.

 * This is controlled by your theme.
    Either someone has mucked up your theme, or
   it was faulty to start with, or just maybe there are some incompatible theme 
   options you have chosen.
 * The quickest fix is to change your theme.
 * Otherwise install a browser inspector such as firebug if you are using firefox(
   each browser has an equivalent addon), and use it to see the css on your links
   and sort out how they got made invisible (or nearly so).

 * Is there any css code i can add to take care of it?

 * Probably, yes. Do you have a Webpage with the problem to show us? If not, then
   other than suggesting you debug this yourself (as suggested with Firebug) I don’t
   think we can help you.

 * You really need to do these changes in either custom css (some themes support
   this, there is also a plugin), OR in a child theme, details here:
    creating a
   child theme [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * The basic css you need is to style the link text:
 *     ```
       a {
         color: black;
       }
       ```
   
 * It is likely to be more complex than this, use a browser inspector to find the
   relevant classes and id to target.

 * Only ever so slightly more complicated, try:
 *     ```
       a, a:visited {
         color: black;
       }
       ```
   
 * or any colour except #666, white would give more contrast.
    Presumably this is
   some theme author’s idea of a joke. Any ideas as to why ?

 * I’d say it’s a dark blue.
 * Anyway, in body, you have color as #999 (line 108).
    That is the default (technically).
 * Your problem lies in some JQuery file (custom-css), which is changing your font
   colour.
    I have no idea how your files are structured (I cannot even find that
   file), but you can add `!important` to line 108, before the semi-colon to overwrite.
 * `color: #999 !important;`
