    I have recently launched a website and am using wordpress 2.5 … Many things do not work however I am gradually getting there..

    My first question is how do I change the font size of my blog “description title”.. the part on my site that says “Production Music for TV film and Media”

    I am no html expert but am guessing I have to change something in my style css page… I managed to alter the blog title but cannot find where to alter the description.. my head is spinning…

    My site is here http://www.ReneDwight.com

    Many thanks..

  • you can do it with ems or pxs but either way:

    .logo h1 {font-size:70px; }

    there an example using px (pixels)

    Hi Whoomi..

    Appologies if I am being dumb, I am really not an expert with html..

    I opened up my CCS/styel html and the closest I found to the code you posted is this..

    header .logo { height:88px; padding:0 0 0 60px;}

    I did alter the font size however it did not work..

    Regards Rene

    You dont edit, you add exactly what I pasted. My example will increase the size to 70 pixes.

    h1 {
    font-size: 4em;
    text-align: center;
    }

    This is what it looks like in the default theme.

    }

    h1, h1 a, h2, h2 a, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    margin-bottom:0;
    color:#B65D41;
    text-align:left;
    }

    h1 {font-size:2.4em;}
    h2 {font-size:1.6em;}
    h3 {font-size:1.6em;}
    h4 {font-size:1.4em;}
    h5 {font-size:1em;}
    h6 {font-size:0.8em;}

    This in the theme that I use. You’re looking for “H1” and “font-size”. Like Whoo says, em can also be px.

    Gangleri, doing what you suggest will change ALL h1’s which is why thats not generally a good option, but yes, that could be done as well.

    Hi Whoomi

    I just replaced the code exactly as you said however it affected the Blog Title and the Blog description,, I need just the blog description to change..

    Regards Rene

    will change ALL h1’s which is why thats not generally a good option, but yes, that could be done as well.

    Hahaha, trial and error have so far almost always resulted in what I was looking to do. Of course I wouldn’t look in header, footer or sidebar parts.

    Damn, René’s style looks like a mess when it opens in notepad. I’ll try to find your pointer (but I’m sure there’ll be much faster people).

    Thanks Gangleri..

    When you say the syle looks a mess is that bad? I purchased the template because it looked good and I thought would be professional… I do not want some bad code to affect SEO as the site is part of my work…

    many thanks Rene

    My guess is we’re looking for this one:

    h1 { font-size:2.64em; color:#FFFFFF; text-transform:uppercase; font-style:italic; line-height:1.01em; width:auto;}

    What if you tried to make the 2.64 into 6.00 or something?
    Btw, clear browser cache, possible WP cache (do you use a plugin for that perhaps?) and I personally always have to switch between default and back to my theme before changes appear.

    [edit] Oh I don’t know why your style.css comes out like this. It’s just everything in one big line. It probably looks a lot better when you just open it from your computer.

    Btw. I’m just thinking out loud, like I stated before, I do these things by trial-and-error. Somebody who understands css and xhtml will probably find the sollution a lot faster.

    What I provided changes the title, not the description. I misread, my bad.

    If you want to chnage what is underneath that, thats already in your CSS:

    #header span { font-size:1.01em; line-height:1.45em; color:#DD127B; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;}

    fiddle with that.

    Thanks Gangleri

    The 2.64 is something I edited before I posted.. that made the title of my blog which says “Rene Dwight” smaller .. exactly what I wanted.. its the description just inderneath “Production Music for TV Film and Media” that I want to make slightly bigger…

    I just want to thank you guys again for trying to help…

    Rene

    as I alrerady stated.

    #header span { font-size:1.01em; line-height:1.45em; color:#DD127B; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;}

    See font-size??? Make the number bigger.

    Whoomi.. I realize now earlier I replaced

    #header span { font-size:1.01em; line-height:1.45em; color:#DD127B; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;}

    with this

    .logo h1 {font-size:70px; }

    half of the code was missing… thats why I am a musician and not a webmaster.. Lol..

    Many thanks.. Rene
