Changing the color of the "Read more..." text Wordpress

    I have tweaked the Read More for my blog posts, but I don't know how to tweak the color. I was toying around with this page http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

    And on my blog, it now says, WAIT! THERE'S MORE but it's in the same light blue color that links are, and I want to change it to something different. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    Hi,

    The part you need is here:

    You can style the text in the tag, too.

    <?php the_content('<span class="moretext">...on the edge of
    your seat? Click here to solve the mystery.</span>'); ?>

    Then set the moretext class in your style.css style sheet to whatever you want. Here is an example of the style which features bold, italic text that is slightly smaller than the default text and uses the font-variant: small-caps to force the text into small capital letters. :

    The right direction is the best I can do...
    I'm not an expert yet, but I make changes until something finally works. :)
