 * I notice the text on the jetpack widgets is defaulted to black, my background
   is black and I would like to change this color, how would I change this? Thanks!

 * You can change this using CSS. You have to find class/id associated with this
   widget and modify then. If you are unable to do so then provide me url of your
   page so that i can assist.

 * Hi! Looks to me as though you changed the color to red on the widget titles. 
   Did you manage to solve this, then? If not, let me know which widget and which
   text you’d like to change, exactly.

 * Thanks but no the titles are fine. I am referring mainly to the jetpack blog 
   subscribe widget on the left hand side. When you enter text on the widget it’s
   default black with no option to change it.

 * Hi,
 * I dont’t see any extra text, and when I entered my email to follow, the confirmation
   text showed up light grey, so I presume you fixed it? If not, please add some
   text so I can help you with the CSS. 🙂

 * Ok I added text on the left side. Should say: This is test text!
 * Thanks for your help! 🙂

 * Try this in your site’s style-sheet or in the Jetpack Edit CSS module (under 
   Appearance):
 *     ```
       #subscribe-text {
       color: #8c8c8c;
       }
       ```
   
 * That’s the same color as your body text. You can put any color you want there.
 * That should fix it!
