 * I want to change my font to Verdana, but I’m not sure how.
    This is what it says
   in my theme editor: body { background: #3D4345 url(images/back.png) 0 repeat;
   color: #51544B; text-align: center; font-family: “Trebuchet MS”, Trebuchet MS,
   Trebuchet MS; font-size: 15px; padding:0px; min-height: 100%; _height: 100%; }
 * I tried thanging the font-family but that doesn’t seem to work.
    can anyone help
   me?

 * If you’re editing the style.css inside WordPress, make sure that the file is 
   writable and being saved.
 * Font-family is the correct value to change, but even if you set that for one 
   element, a later declaration may override it. Take a look at the CSS-related 
   links here: [Know Your Source](http://codex.wordpress.org/Know_Your_Sources)

 * I looked at all of that info, and I don’t understand half of it. So I went into
   my theme editor and looked to see where else there was a font-family and changed
   those to see what changes on my website: nothing changes the content of the website,
   just the menu bars, etc.
    🙁

 * Use control+F to find ALL “Trebuchet”s. It’s probably in your css for the index,
   the header, the footer, the sidebar, comments, etc.

 * I think it is this one:
 * .post h2 {
    margin: 0 0; padding: 5px 0px 0px 10px; height:30px; background: 
   transparent; text-align: left; font: 24px “Century gothic”, Arial, sans-serif;
   font-weight:normal;
 * ..or it could be the one before it.
    Not quite sure. Sometimes I just play around
   with stuff if I’m not sure until something works. 🙂
