  My primary problem, since I’m brand new at blogs, is how to use different fonts and sizes when writing my blog (which is Hemingway theme). My only options seem to be Headers and even they don’t translate from what I type to what is published. Hope this makes sense. I did try to find help in the forums, but they were to ‘computerese” for me. Help?

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

  Hi there. To change your font type and size you either need to use inline CSS on a post-by-post basis, or you need the Custom Design upgrade which will allow you to change your theme’s default font (though I think you’ll still need CSS to change the font size, but with the Custom Design upgrade you’ll change it once to have it apply to all your posts).

  See here for more info on the Custom Design upgrade: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
