   If you can provide a link to your blog with the theme you want to change active then possibly the specific CSS can be suggested.

   It is common for blog titles to use either the H1 or H2 tag but without specific references to the theme you are using it can be very difficult to make suggestions that will work.

   to change blog title size and font, adapt in the style.css:
   

   #header h1 a {
     color: #d3d082;
     font-size: 16pt;
     text-decoration: none;
     font: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
     }

   instead of: 'font: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif' choose your own font(s).

   you find a lot info about font styling here.

   you have to include this into the style declaration, for instance:

   #header h1 a {
     color: #d3d082;
     font-size: 16pt;
     text-decoration: none;
     font: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
     font-style:italic;
     font-weight:bold;
     }

   i tried putting in the font and nothing happens???

    i just looked at your blog and could find no changes in the style.css.
    changing the font could be done more specific with
    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    instead of
    font: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    please try this.
    and did you upload your style.css back into the theme folder? (no offense - i have forgotten myself to upload things after i changed them ;-)

    i added the font for times new roman and nothing

12. alchymyth

    where exactly did you add that?
    there are still no changes in your style.css.

    did you use FTP to get your style sheet from:
    http://jvazjrsblog.com/wp-content/themes/black-splat-wr/style.css, then changed the part in the style sheet
    

    #header h1 a {
      color: #d3d082;
      font-size: 16pt;
      text-decoration: none;
      font: "Times New Roman";
      }

    then uploaded the stlye.css again with FTP?
    if so, then my knowledge cannot help you further - should have worked.

    did you clear your browser cache while you were checking if the change worked?

    yes

    i don't want to sound annoying - i am just trying to find out why it did not work:
    do you actually have Times New Roman on your computer installed?

    could you maybe upload the change again and leave it up for a while until i can check if it works on my end?

18. alchymyth

    yes, with all font names which consist of more than a single word, you have to include quotation marks.

    thank you for uploading.
    font was larger, and is now small again.
    please change the font to:
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    i saw that 'font: "Times New Roman"' did not work. hopefully the 'font-family' thing should work.

    here it is again:
    

    #header h1 a {
      color: #d3d082;
      font-size: 16pt;
      text-decoration: none;
      fontfamily:  "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
      font-style:italic;
      font-weight:bold;
      }

    and the link for some explanations.

    My blog has too much space between the title and the tag line. arcticternbooks.com Is there a way to narrow that space? - Tom Brennan
