    I’ll hunt down those various font settings and see if I can delete them as you suggested. Thanks for looking. And why Intrepidity? Well, when it came out two years ago, it seemed as thought he author would keep updating ALL his themes. He made it look as though he was in it for the long haul. Sadly, he bailed and at that point, I took the time to try out several other themes, but soon discovered that same with them… the author bailed or got interested in his latest and conveniently forgot about his previous ones. I had spent a LOT of time tweaking to get this site how I liked it in Intrepidity, and when trying out other themes, I ran into all sorts of other theme related issues, so I decided to hunker down and just stay wehre I was at. Dunno about you, but I’d rather spend my time driving traffic and cashing checks than tweaking away my days/months/years!

    Yeah, I hear ya, billy… me too. I have gone down that road several times to find the culprit. Pain in the ass, but the only real way I know how to sort it all out.

    Well, just like any mono-focused programmer, it is really easy to only look for the features to work, and once they do, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! So trial compilations many times don’t get erased or optimized in the interest of getting the software/theme/plugin out the door and the programmer on to the next project after it taking waaay too long to finalize.

    I understand the process, but that doesn’t make it any easier to follow behind them and try to make sense out of their code, eh?

    So in conclusion, I think I will take both of your advice. I’ll nuke the various font settings and do the trial and error plugin deactivation mombo. I’d like to be done with this site for now and to concentrate on bringing in the money honey. Wish me luck!

    Yer a freakin genious! Thank you! I used this to finally get what I was looking for…

    .tagcloud {margin-left:10px; margin-right:20px }

    I’ve emptied all caches. See if that helps you with Firebug.

    Now, about that body text size problem…

    Thanks for your help! I have disabled minify. I didn’t realize that it was making it difficult for you guys to take a look… sorry! You gave me a clue about Spam Free WordPress plugin. I deactivated it and VOILA! my margins returned to normal. This is good news!

    So is there a Firebug for Chrome?

    @everyone
    Now what remains is to be able to adjust the margins in my tag cloud which is a widget in the sidebar area. Any ideas on that?

    Thanks for your suggestion for Stylizer. I got an eval copy and will be playing with it right away. Looks like a great tool! But here’s where the challenge comes in… I have searched on the style.css file in Intrepidity and there is no sfw in any of the styles nor in any of the php files under editor. It is generated (from where, who knows?) and only shows up after the page is live. So even if I do use Stylizer and make those changes, will they hold? I dunno, but I’m a gonna try!

    @wpyogi
    See above in my response to billy-not-happy. This is where I get lost. How does one change what gets generated by the theme if one cannot find where the original file lives?

    @seacoast Web Design
    Thanks for that suggestion. I was able to find the sfw, but not able to find where I would change it in my original css or php within Intrepidity.

    @everyone
    So I am going to go play with Stylizer and see if I can discover anything. I will report back. Thank all of you for your suggestions and time to have a look at my dilemma. You are all great!

    If anyone has more suggestions… I am all ears!

    Yes, of course I do that. I’ve been working with CSS and HTML since 1999 and have built several sites (both HTML and WordPress), so I am no stranger to this world, but this damn Intrepidity has got me stumped!
