    Hello,
    I am a relative newbie to WordPress and blogging. My knowledge of HTML and CSS is quite rudimentary.
    Hence, the following questions:

    a. I would like the heading of each blog post to be a “link” to the post’s permalink. Right now, I have manually insert the
    <a href> tag to get this to work. I find that somewhat tedious. Any ideas on what updates need to be made to my stylesheet
    to get the heading to work the way I would like it to.

    b. Is there any way to include a timestamp on each post under the heading? I am not sure as to how to do this.

    c. Right now, I am unable to control the size or font of the text in my blog post. I am guessing this is a simple update to the CSS file.
    Which section would this be?

    Responses to my posts will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Regards,

    Pranav

    a. You’d need to edit the relevant template files in your theme and use something like:

    <h2 class="post-title" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent Link to');?> <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

    to generate a heading link dynamically.

    b. Try using <?php the_time(); ?>

    c. Impossible to say without seeing your site.
