Are you looking on different computers and browsers, by any chance?
I don’t know if this is the culprit, but one problem I see with the fonts in your CSS is that you have specified fonts that not every computer may have, and no “fallback” fonts. Examples:
font-family: consolas;
font-family: constantia;
Constantia is a font that comes with Vista and Windows 7, so if you’re looking at your site on a Mac, for example, the browser won’t be able to display the site using that font, and will look for the next-specified font. As you haven’t specified any “fallback” fonts it’ll then look for the default font in the browser preferences. For example, I see the name at top left in Times New Roman, which is my browser’s default font, as I don’t have the font Constantia, which you’ve specified for h1 tags.
You normally specify fonts in “font stacks” with a common font listed first, which most computers will have.
Example:
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
I don’t know if this is the cause of the problems you’re seeing, but it’s something that jumped out at me when I looked at the code.
If you need further help, please post screen shots of the phenomenon you’re seeing.
Thank you Zoonini. I realized it was a structural problem, since I don’t really know coding. I looked at it from different browsers and on different computers. It wasn’t just a font problem but I see borders on photos where they aren’t supposed to be…although, now the fonts are doing fine for some reason. I had deleted all the borders from the css code but somehow it still shows. another problem was probably the fact that I was moving back and forth from design view to coding view and editing both ways. anyhow, I am moving on to dreamweaver…perhaps, I will come back to it when I gain more knowledge, when I have more time.
I have a similar problem although the font doesn’t change every time I log in. Without doing anything to the site, a key character (an ampersand) which is the reason I selected the template (Element) has changed from something elegant to something silly. Using the same computer (MacAir) and OS as the one on which the site was built. I haven’t messed with anything lately. Is there a way to find out what happened, and to substitute back in the original font?
