 * Argh!
    Why do you change the display properties in your updates? I get my site
   looking just the way I want, then I update the theme and now things are looking
   different and I have to spend hours trying to figure out what you did so I can
   put it back to the way it was! A total waste of time.
 * This time is not such a big difference, but I cannot figure out how to fix it.
   
   Previously, I could mouseover h1.site-title and it would have a shadow fade in
   while the text remained the same colour. Now the text suddenly pops a different
   colour and there is no shadow! I’ve tried adding
 *     ```
       .site-branding h1.site-title a:hover {transition: text-shadow 0.5s ease 0s;}
       .site-branding h1.site-title a:hover {color: #444;}
       ```
   
 * to my child stylesheet but it only succeeds in keeping the text colour correct.
   No shadow appears. What am I missing?

 * Can you post a link to your site?
 * Also, it’s not necessary to use Caps Lock on your thread titles.

 * I don’t see a text-shadow applied to your site title. Is there supposed to be
   one? Was there one applied to the site title in a previous version?

 * This is what I’m saying. I was previously using 3.0.1 and there was a text shadow
   around the site-title when you hover your mouse over it.
 * Somehow the developer decided to change this and now I can’t figure out how to
   get it back.
 * This is reason behind my overheated use of caps – the developer is essentially
   changing hundreds of websites with his updates. I know his intentions are good
   and I absolutely appreciate his efforts at creating this wonderful theme, but
   I need him to stop making changes that affect the display of websites. It takes
   too much of my time to go back and try to find out how to fix/change/revert what
   he did, when I should be adding content, etc.

 * Ah, okay. You could try something like this, then:
 * `.site-branding h1.site-title a:hover {color: #444; text-shadow: 2px 2px gray;}`

 * Yes! That’s got it.
    Thank you so much! 🙂
