  Hello, I just started my blog yesterday, three questions:
  1. How to change the front size for my new post?
  2. I have the ‘twenty sixty’ theme, how do I customize by adding an ‘About Me’ section in my menu bar?
  3. How to add a picture to publish at the same time with a new blog post?
  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there!

  Glad to hear you’ve started a new blog :)
  Here are the answers to your questions. I hope you find them useful.

  1) I assume you meant ‘font’ size, is that correct? Font size is set as default by the theme you chose. You can tweak the CSS code (which is the language that tells your website how to look) by adding some additional strings we can provide, if you fancy it. This code will change the size of your font everywhere on the website. If you want to change the font size on a single post only, you could use the HTML. I can provide guidance for that as well, just let me know precisely what is your aim :)

  2) I see you changed your theme to The Edin one, however the following information applies also to The Edin theme. One you’ve created your About me page (here’s a quick guide on how to create pages), you need to establish a custom Menu to display on your website.

  Here’s how to create a Custom Menu:
  – From your Dashboard, go to Appearance>Menu.
  – Click on create a new menu.
  – Give your Menu a name then click the Create Menu blue button.
  – Now the left area of the pages has turned clickable. From there, you can select the elements you want to place onto your menu. You can choose between pages, archive category or tags pages, external links, single posts etc.
  – Organise your menu (Here are more detailed info on how to sort out your menu)
  – Save your menu by hitting the Save Menu blue button.

  Now that your menu is created, on the Manage Locations tab (right tab under the Menu page title) you can assign your menu to the Menu entries.

  3) You can add pictured anytime on your posts and pages. Here’s a guide that explains how to do it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/
  There’s also the option of adding Featured Images, which may add a plus on your content: https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/.

  I hope all this information is clear! I know that it might be a lot of information for a new blogger, so let me know if you’ve got any questions. Happy to help clarify any of the doubts you may have :)
