  To change the font size for the Elemin tagline, you’ll need the Custom Design upgrade, which includes custom fonts.

  You can read more about that upgrade here:

  Thanks. I did a preview and it looks like i can get the tagline about three sizes bigger which is good…but it looks like the tagline is tied to the body text. Can I increase the tagline size without affecting the body tex?. And, can I change the tagline color without changing the body text color?

  Certainly, but you’ll need to use CSS to do that. To do this, you’d want to enter the following code into your Appearance -> Custom Design -> Custom CSS editor:

  h2#site-description {
  color: #000000;
  font-size: 1em;
  }

  You can change the color to display whichever color you’d like. To change the font size, simply update the number next to “font-size.”

  If you need any additional help in getting your site’s CSS set up, just let us know:

  When I visit your site, I’m able to see the tagline.

  Could you let me know how exactly you’d like the tagline to look? We could then provide you with the CSS specific to those changes.

  Right now, I think the tagline looks good.

  My concern is that the body text seems to have correspondingly increased in size and made the formatting of the text to the left of the post (the date, name of author, category etc) be too big and even seems to encroach on the space that is for the post itself.

  Thanks so much for helping me out…once I get the hang of this, I wont be such a pest.

  Hi JL,

  Instead of using the Custom Fonts to change the size of your site’s tagline, you’ll want to change it in the Custom CSS editor via your Appearance -> Custom Design -> CSS page. This way, it won’t affect the size of the body text.

  With the code you currently have inserted in your Custom CSS page, you can increase the font size of just your tagline by changing the number next to “font-size: 1em;” to something larger and clicking “Save.”
