  When posting something why doesn’t wordpress “view” have a font size?

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

  If you want to change the size of the words on wp View, the only choices you have are paragraph, heading 1, heading 2, etc. I don’t think there’s any other way of changing your font size on view.

  You can change it, but you have to change it by coding. Either hand-code the paragraph with HTML tags or buy the Custom Design upgrade and change it in the CSS code.

  “view”
  Do you mean “visual”?
  I am not web developing expert or professional, but from what I read about HTML5, the proper way to set or change font size,
  – other than using the heading tags
  is within the CSS.

  You cannot alter your CSS with the visual editor. To make changes to your blog’s CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) you would need the Custom Design Upgrade as raincoaster and mochhixoshi suggested.
  I am guessing that why font-size is not offered in the Visual Mode

  However you can change font size in the text (HTML mode), whether its proper are not. the way I do it with a block of text is:

  `<div style= “font-size:125%> Sample-text here
  </div> `

  where the 125% is 25% larger than present font size is.
  I hope that is clear.

  Darn the code above should be:

  <div style= "font-size:125%;> Sample-text here
  </div>

  sorry.

  I will try on more time, and then its time for bed.
  (I have a tough time proofreading in these little post boxes):

  <div style= "font-size:125%;"> Sample-text here
  </div>
