    Example of Changing CSS
     
    We recommend using browser tools to find your CSS, such as Inspect (right click in chrome and choose Inspect):
     
    Using the above tool, let's see how to change the hashtag CSS for the Trending Hashtag widget. Perhaps we want to make it stand out more.
     
     
    Using the Inspect tool, we can find the CSS. Right click on the hashtag and choose Inspect.
     
     
    You'll see the CSS details in the bottom of the page, in the inspect tool, on the right:
     
     
    Copy the code:
     
     
    And paste it into the input box in the Custom CSS page:
     
     
    We want to change the text color so we need to add the following as well as a closing curly brace:
     
    .layout_core_hashtags_cloud ul > li > a {
    color: #2817bd;
    }
    Save it and be sure to enable/disable development mode. You should see the following:
     
     
    Voila!
