   It's h2 I believe. The easiest way for you to see what css is affecting what is to download and install firebug. It'll make things a lot easier. If you don't have at least a very rudimentary understanding of CSS, you should study up BEFORE you start tinkering around with things.

   Try doing this on your style sheet:

   #content h2, .posts h2 {color: #xxxxxx;}

   Also

   h2 a {color: #xxxxxx;}

   h2 a:hover {color: #xxxxxx;} (for hovering on the title links)

   I did it differently because I modified my single.php file to add the class "title" to the h2 tags surrounding the blog post title so my sheet (and I use the custom.css sheet ) looks like this.

   .custom h2 a, h2.title {
   	color: #8c1717; text-decoration: none; font-size: 22px;
   	font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
   	text-transform: none; font-weight: lighter;
   	letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: 120%;
   }	
   
   .custom h2 a:hover {
   	color: #888; text-decoration: none;
   }

   obviously xxxxxx is whatever hexadecimal color you want.

   Okay thirdeyetc, thanks for your explanation. Probably do need to bone up on CSS too.

   NO prob. Definitely checkout the W3C schools. They give you tutorials, and samples, and explain everything in a very easy to understand matter.

   Basic CSS is very logical and easy to understand. It's really just a matter of knowing what you can do with it.

   But you definitely want to understand the basic syntax before you start messing with your theme, but changing colors is pretty safe and simple.
