  Wondering if it’s possible to change fonts within one post. I have the custom program and have a choice of fonts but it’s a blanket thing….

  It would be nice to be able to add a little variety from time to time. Is it even possible?

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

  Each post has a unique ID number which you can find by inspecting the HTML and looking at the classes assigned to the body tag on the single post view. You can then use a rule like the one below to change the font for a particular post:

  .post-11786 .entry-content {
    font-family:courier;
  }

  It won’t have any effect on bits of your post that have had inline CSS rules applied to them though.

  But you cannot change the font from one topic or one paragraph to another?

  You would have to do that in the post text editor using inline CSS or by assigning classes, like so:

  <p style="color:#f00;">This is red</p>

  You could use any HTML element you like but if you just want one paragraph then p is the one to use. If you want multiple paragraphs/lists/etc. then wrap them all in a div element and apply the styles to the div instead.

  The other option is to set the styles in your custom CSS but apply classes in the text editor – this will make it easier to modify across multiple posts/pages if you ever want to make changes – you can change one custom CSS declaration and it will apply to every element with the given class. In the text editor you’d have something like:

  <p class="customstyle01">This will depend on your custom CSS.</p>

  And then in your custom CSS:

  .customstyle01 {
    color:#0f0;
    font-family:verdana;
    padding-left:20px;
  }
