If you are referring to the blog linked to your username which is a free hosted WordPress.com blog then these are the 3 ways we have for changing fonts:

(1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the HTML editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/

(2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

(3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
Note: Any font changes to font families, colors and size in the blog title, tagline, post titles, page titles, categories and tags cannot be done without CSS editing.

“Gone”? All the posts on your front page are in Comic Sans. Do you mean you want to publish a new post and don’t remember how to do it?

I know how to publish a new post but
1. dont know how to get the Comic Sans ms font…
2. and dont know how to make the size larger…
I am not concerned about color and dont know what previous response by timethief means when she refers to HTML editor and CSS editing…
thank you

I am a visually impaired person who is over 50 years of age. I am looking at comic sans font on your blog and it’s so BIG that I hold down the Ctrl key and simultaneously click the – minus key on my keyboard to decrease the size. Are you aware that we can all increase and decrease font size on any site we visit on the internet? I am surprised that you wish to make the size of the font even larger.

I agree with timethief: the text in your posts is grotesquely large. But anyway it’s your blog, not ours. To change the size and the font for a complete post, write the whole post then switch the editor to HTML and enclose the content this way:
```
<div style="font-size:120%;font-family:Comic Sans MS;">
COMPLETE CONTENT HERE
</div>
```
You can change the percentage to adjust the size.

When you create or edit a post, the main edit box has two tabs top right: Visual and HTML. To switch to HTML, you click the HTML tab.

If you think the font size of your posts isn’t too big, then you either have an outrageously high-resolution screen or you’ve set your browser to zoom out. Try hitting control-0 to revert to normal viewing size.

Maybe you’ve already changed it, tomsbriefs, but your title/font size isn’t too large as I see it. I like the size, because it’s easy to read. Longer blogs might need to have a smaller font size, though, just so it won’t go on forever.

I personally do not like having to change the font/color/size in every blog if I don’t like the one in my theme choice. I prefer to have a choice in the overall blog design for that simple thing without paying $24. But it’s no big deal, I’ll live.

In order to use that comic sans font you will have to use the HTML editor on every post and page you create to enter the required code which will produce it as I described above in (1).

Alternatively you can purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade as I pointed out above in (3) and use CSS editing to change the font family and sizes throughout the whole blog.
