Changing font in a single blog post

    How do you change the font for a single blog post?

    I originally opened the stylesheet.css file and changed the font size within body{ }, but then I realized I only wanted to change the font on a single blog entry.

    I have used the html editor and included the following tag <span style=’font-size: 4pt’> </span> surrounding the content, which I thought would do the trick. However, when I cleared the cache and reloaded the page the size of the font didn’t change.

    I looked through numerous forum pages and can’t seem to find a post that solves my problem. Can any one help me?

    Let me know if you need any specific details about the theme or web address.

    MANY THANKS!

    I think your problem is that font-size does not use a point size, rather it uses relative values like ‘200%’ or ‘larger’, or text values like ‘small’, ‘medium’ or ‘x-large’.

    font-size does not use a point size

    *cough* yes it can *cough*

    However here’s a really good explanation of why pt font-sizes shouldn’t be used for page displays.

    Well, when I tried it on my test site, I probably forgot to clear the cache.

    I suppose it’s possible that some browsers would ignore pt fonts in a screen CSS. Never seen that myself though. I use pt sizes quite often in print.css stylesheets.

    @chrisedmonson: Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be able to offer much in the way of assistance.

    Thank you for the responses.

    Click here for the link to the page.

    The HOME PAGE is a full width page template and I am trying to get the words on that page to be larger. Any suggestions?

    Much appreciated!

    Without any text on the page, it’s virtually impossible to “guess” the solution.

    @esmi I am embarrassed and I apologize that I sent you to a page where the text was not visible. If you click here now it will send you to the page and the text is there.

    I am trying to make the text on the HOME PAGE to be larger. Thank you for taking the time to help me out!
