  I am a complete novice at CSS and even the intro and basic instructions are leaving me shaking my head and questioning my ability with a computer! Can anyone please help me by explaining in layman’s terms how to add a dropped capital to the first word of each post in Cocoa theme?

  Thank you! Jan

  Hi Jan,

  You don’t need to use CSS for this.

  Here’s the explanation from the theme’s setup page:

  Drop caps – To highlight a paragraph with a drop cap letter, you can wrap the first letter of the paragraph in a span tag with the CSS class dropcap.

  Here’s what that looks like:
  <span class="dropcap">F</span>irst letter

  So you’re basically wrapping some code around the first letter of your paragraph. In this case, you would replace the letter F with the letter that makes sense for your first word.
