  • Hi,

    You can increase font style for comment in comment stylesheet..you can apply your own stylesheet too..

    For blog contents you need to increse it from body stylesheet.

    Thanks,

    There is no file listed with a name like body-stylesheet. Like I said, the stylesheet (style.css) mentions font-size umpteen times.

    rocketllama, you sound kind of new to this…I am too. I’m not sure if this will help you but I discovered Firebug after about three weeks and wish someone…anyone…had told be about it sooner.

    It’s an add-on for Mozilla Firefox (which you should get if you don’t use it already) and then go to getfirebug.com and download the add-on. Once you do that…when you are on your site hit F12 and a window will open up on the bottom of your screen. Then hit Ctrl+Alt+C to “inspect” your site…you can hover over your entire site with your mouse and see different elements outlined in dark blue.

    Once you’ve got the element (or font of a specific type in your case) outlined click your mouse once to hold the code there…in the right half of the window is the code (and font size) you’re looking for. It will tell you exactly what line of what css file you need to change.

    You can also change anything you want in firebug and it will make those changes for you in your site so you can “preview” them…changes in firebug aren’t permanent. As soon as you refresh your page the clock strikes 12 and…

    Hope that helps…and if this was useless to you or you’re way beyond this kind of help then I apologize.

    Thanks for trying, but it doesn’t help. At least I now know about Firebug, so maybe that will help with other things, so I thank you for that, but no matter what I change the font size to in the part it identifies, it has no effect. Something else somewhere in the code seems to be overriding that.

    HELP!

    Can you post the code that is predominant?

    If you want to increase the font size in the main content area of the blog, open style.css.

    Near the top, you’ll see:

    body {
    color:#000000;
    font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;
    font-size:12px;
    text-shadow:0 0 0 #000000;
    }

    Change font-size:12px; to something like font-size:14px;.

    To increase the font size in the sidebar, look for:

    #sidebar {
    font-size:11px;
    }

    Again, increase the font-size to suit.

    Only change one font size at a time, save the file and then review the site before making any further changes. Changing the text size in one place can have a knock-on effect elsewhere, so ‘slowly and carefully’ is the best way to proceed.
