  I’m using the Sela template and have been trying to adjust the tagline size so that its almost the same size as the title.

  I’ve had a go at CSS but don’t seem to be doing it correctly. Any help with changing size and font would be much appreciated

  Also, I’d like to make the box on the front page bigger if possible

  Thanks in advance

  If you are using a free WordPress account, you won’t be able to change your CSS. It is an extra, or part of the premium subscription.

  If you do have access to the CSS try this:
  .site-description{
  font-size: <whatever font size you want>;
  }

  Hello, thanks for your help. I do have a premium subscription but its my first time using CSS so still learning!

  I’ve managed to change the font size but still struggling to change the size of the box on the front page

  I did some digging around, try targeting this:

  .hero-container-inner with your CSS.

  If you use Firefox, the Firebug add-on is so helpful! That’s how I found those class names to play with.

  Chrome has developer tools as well.

  Good luck with your CSS!

  @couliercreatures, I’m seeing the site you reference now set to the Illustratr theme. Are you sticking with Illustratr?

  On Sela, you target .site-description to change the tagline. You can add the following and then adjust the 3.6rem value as desired.

  .site-description {
      font-size: 3.6rem;
  }

  Ah I just saw the link in your followup comment and I see you have the site description now set to a larger size. I’m going to mark this thread as resolved. Please let us know if you have additional questions.
