Hi Michelle,
Can you tell me which text is bolded that shouldn’t be?

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for following up with me. It’s all of the ‘paragraph’ text. It looks like it might be ‘normal 400’ according to this page: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans
but it’s causing me trouble: whenever I bold + italicize, you can’t see the bold anymore. And elipses (…) just bleed together when the font is bolded. I would prefer it to be at ‘light 300’ I think. How do I make this change?
Hey there!
I see. Ok 400 is normal font weight, so that’s what it is… It’s not bold or anything.
Changing font weights in the customizer is a feature of Make Plus, but it’s not part of the free theme. If you don’t want to edit your fonts manually (through a child theme and writing CSS, etc.), I’d suggest you select a font that is easier to the difference between the normal and bold weights.

Hi Melissa,
Thanks again for your help. I think I figured out how to change it with CSS. I’m not CSS savvy at all so I hope I did it correctly. I’m still encountering the problem with the ellipses as well but I’m glad I was able to make the font lighter.
Thanks for you help!
You’re welcome! Love the blog — you’ve done a really awesome job with it!

Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂
Hi Michelle,
I’m having a similar problem and wondering how you fixed it. I have a child theme installed and knowledge of CSS. Would you mind telling me what code you used?
I have tried stuff like:
body {
font-weight: 300;
}
Thank you!
