Blog title not displayed

  • Unknown's avatar

    The title shows up at the top of the edit page, in the usual face, font and size, but not on the published page. It might have been there originally because surely I would have noticed. I have written it in bold and it now appears in Times Roman bold, (wrong face and size) but how can I get it to appear normally above the post like my other blog posts?

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

    how can I get it to appear normally above the post like my other blog posts?

    Some themes do provide the ability to change the font color (not the font family and not the size) on the site title here > Appearance > Header
    Header text
    Text Color (select color)

    On most themes you cannot change the font family size or color on any titles in any free hosted WordPress.com blog without a custom design upgrade. That upgrade applies to a single blog and is for a single year.

    If you are into fiddling about with font size each and every post you make by using the Text editor (HTML editor) then you can change it in the body text in posts and pages.

    These are 3 ways to change fonts on WordPress.com blogs.

    (1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the Text ie. HTML editor. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/formatting-text-pt-5/

    (2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

    (3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support.

    Thankyou, Timethief, that’s all good advice for the clever ones.
    The point I was trying to make was that I shouldn’t have to do any changing of fonts or html at all. I never have done so before. There is a default field where we enter the title of the post. This usually inserts the title at the top of the post text with no trouble, in a default size and typeface according to the theme.
    But on my last post (which I hope I have made private because it was in such a mess with garbled links) the title does not appear on the post at all.
    It shows up in the title box in the right style in the Edit Visual view, but it’s just not appearing on the published page. That’s why I typed in a manual one on the page, but it didn’t look good so I’ve deleted it. I want the normal WP default style back.
    I don’t want anything fancy. I’m perfectly happy with the absolute basics of what WP does – when it works.

    Which post format you are using for that post?
    aside, image, or standard?

    Standard post formats will display the post’s title.
