Over the past few week, I have been watching a series of Webinars [1] covering Basic, Intermediate and Advanced features of Overleaf [2]. These have been really useful and informative.
Looking forward to applying some of what was covered in to my own documents / projects.

Changing pinned link colours
If you're using writefreely and have pinned a blog post it becomes a link to a new page, rather than a blog post.
However by default the colour is grey. However I have managed to change this.
By examining the underlying code beneath the text. In Firefox you can do this by highlighting required text, right click and select Inspect element (Q)
From this I found
So the class pinned is what we probably need.
Under menu, customise there is an area to enter / edit the css that helps define various options (e.g colour) for the blog.
I therefore added:-
.pinned {
color: red;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: bold;
}
To the text box, in a sensible place. This then changed the links for pinned pages to red.
Hopefully this is helpful.
