 * Hello
 * This is my blog: [http://www.goodasgoldws.co.uk/blog/](http://www.goodasgoldws.co.uk/blog/)
 * About a month ago, when I wrote the most recent post, the font changed from Arial
   to a smaller, Times New Roman-esque font. I don’t like it, but can’t work out
   what’s happened!
 * I always type my entries in directly or post them from Notepad – never Word.
 * I have checked the source code and can’t see anything wrong.
 * I use IE but have also viewed it in Firefox and it’s still wrong.
 * Do I need to upgrade my version of WordPress? I haven’t got time to work out 
   how to back everything up at the moment in order to do that confidently.
 * Please help!
 * Marie

 * Errors have been introduced into your theme’s stylesheet. Try editing style.css
   and changing:
 *     ```
       body {
       font-size: 80%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
       font-family: 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
       color: #333;
       text-align: center;
       background-color:#808080;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       body {
       font-size: 80%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
       font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
       color: #333;
       text-align: center;
       background-color:#808080;
       }
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```
       .widecolumn .entry p {
       font-family: 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
       font-size: 12px;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       .widecolumn .entry p {
       font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
       font-size: 12px;
       }
       ```

 * meaning in `style.css` in your theme’s folder; either through Admin/
    or locally
   and then uploading the new file.

 * goodasgoldws,
 * Just to be sure you know where you are heading:
 * • Log in to your admin area
    • Visit Appearance • Visit Editor • Click on style.
   css ( bottom / right-side list ) • Do a search for the both ( .widecolumn . entry
   and body )
 * Hope this helps.

   helpful.
