 * If I am making a post and want to use a custom size, I have to switch over the
   html (or use headers, but I’m not a fan of doing that), why is there no size 
   option in the “visual” portion when adding a new post?
 * I know I can make it a header, which adds a <h#></h> around the text, but I like
   to set custom sizes like this:
 * `<p style="font-size: 30px;">Text here</p>`
 * Is this bad form? I feel like the “visual” part in WordPress should have a font
   size drop down list, almost like you see in Microsoft Word, where you could use
   pixels, %, or points. Anyway, I didn’t want to put this in suggestions because
   I honestly know very little about wordpress/html, so I figured I might be missing
   something or using bad form. Do I just need to switch over to html view and manually
   add the tags every time?

 * Generally, CSS should be in the external stylesheet — that’s the standard of 
   coding that WP adheres to in most cases — and why there is no an easy option 
   for inline styling. And if it’s any kind of heading, you should use h tags as
   that can affect your SEO.

 * You can try [TinyMCE Advanced plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/),
   which enables some advanced options in the wordrepss editor. I think this may
   solve your problem.

 * Thank to you both, I ultimately went with the plugin even if it’s standard to
   edit that stuff in the stylesheet. It’s just easier for me and makes more sense
   🙂
 * The plugin seems helpful, so thanks.
