  Can you change the size or appearance of the ‘follow’ button?

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

  Do you mean the “follow” button on your site’s sidebar? It looks normal sized to me.

  It might be normal sized but the parents from my classroom who view the site had a hard time seeing it. I want to know if there is a way to change the ‘follow’ button’s appearance.

  So, the short answer is yes, it is possible. But you will need to add some custom CSS that required the Custom Design upgrade.

  Here’s an example of the CSS:

  You could also try this CSS:

  input, textarea, button {
   font-family: inherit;
   font-size: 1.1em;
  }

  That changes the font size slightly and changing the font size changes the button size. Increasing that 1.1 value will increase the font size.

  Or perhaps even:

  .widget_blog_subscription input {font-size: XXX;}

  And replace XXX with your font size.

  I have no idea if you are interested in upgrading your site so you can use the CSS, but I’m also leaving this here for anyone who sees the thread in the future in case they have the same issue.
