Header Font Style?

    Hi,

    I really want to change the font and style of the header text on my site. It’s really boring using this default font. I tried changing the header image by adding my own font and then removing the text from the header in the options menu, but that just causes more problems. It removes the link back to the homepage from the header, and it removes the name from the RSS feed.

    So, my question is, can I somehow change the style/font of the header text without having to actually make a different header?

    P.S. I’m using the “Rusty” theme.

    Thanks.

    Open the themes style.css and find the line
    #blog_title {

    add a line saying:
    font-family: fontname;

    right under #blog_title { line, for “fontname” being the name of your wanted font

    Okay, currently, there’s no command for the color of the font, so I guess it makes it white (by default?). Where and how can I add a command for the color? Sorry, I’m not good with this stuff…

    If you want to customize stuff, just learn a LITTLE about CSS.

    The style variable is ‘color’, so something like:
    color: #AA2222;

    for a deep red color. colors must be either a color name (white, black, red, blue, etc. — there’s a list of them in various CSS guides…), or a hex RGB color value (like most photo/paint programs will give you…).

    Okay, I put the color variable in right after font-weight making it the last variable in the series. This is what I did:

    color: black;

    But the font is still white.

    That’s probably because the header text is also a linktext and ‘defaults’ to white.

    You might overrun the settings by adding something like:
    #blog_title a {
    color: black;
    }

    to your css file.

    However, I agree with davidchait on that you should teach yourself a little basic CSS, – it is good to understand how it works when you like to customizes the look and feel of your theme.

    W3 Schools is the best place to start learn all the basics:
