Help with blog layout

[ad_1]

I am finding the WordPress GUI really frustrating. iIt seems impossible to make the simplest changes!! I just want a simple blog page but layout is important to me. So far I have the fonts, colors and backgrounds pretty much sorted, but I’m stuck on 2 issues: first, I cant seem to set the link hover color. Right now it’s black, which makes it effectively disappear when you hover. I added this CSS:

.site-title a:hover {
color: #ffcc33;
}

…..as per advice I found on a WP forum, but it didn’t change anything.

The other issue is that when I load a post the first paragraph comes up with a really large font that looks terrible on mobile. I cant seem to edit that particular font size no matter what I do.
I’m pretty green w WP and this is making me crazy! I’m quite comfortable with CSS so have no problem editing that, if I knew where to start. Any help is much appreciated):
