   Hello

   This is my blog: http://www.goodasgoldws.co.uk/blog/

   About a month ago, when I wrote the most recent post, the font changed from Arial to a smaller, Times New Roman-esque font. I don't like it, but can't work out what's happened!

   I always type my entries in directly or post them from Notepad - never Word.

   I have checked the source code and can't see anything wrong.

   I use IE but have also viewed it in Firefox and it's still wrong.

   Do I need to upgrade my version of WordPress? I haven't got time to work out how to back everything up at the moment in order to do that confidently.

   Please help!

   Marie

   Errors have been introduced into your theme's stylesheet. Try editing style.css and changing:

   body {
   font-size: 80%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
   font-family: 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   color: #333;
   text-align: center;
   background-color:#808080;
   }

   to

   body {
   font-size: 80%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   color: #333;
   text-align: center;
   background-color:#808080;
   }

   and

   .widecolumn .entry p {
   font-family: 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   font-size: 12px;
   }

   to

   .widecolumn .entry p {
   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   font-size: 12px;
   }

   Esmi, thank you for your reply - where do I do this?

   meaning in style.css in your theme's folder; either through Admin/
   or locally and then uploading the new file.

   goodasgoldws,

   Just to be sure you know where you are heading:

   • Log in to your admin area
   • Visit Appearance
   • Visit Editor
   • Click on style.css ( bottom / right-side list )
   • Do a search for the both ( .widecolumn . entry and body )

   Hope this helps.

   Thank you, all! It's fixed. doc4, your description of how to get there was especially helpful.
