Font size help

Obviously you haven’t. I told you EXACTLY where the problem was – it is not in the post that is bolded, it is in the one above it. I see it here
<p>Prawda, że Lyndall Jarvis rządzi i dzieli?<strong></strong><strong></p>See the extra strong in there?

Thank You, problem solved … but now partially. Posts are fixed but menu on the right is still in strong but ONLY IN THE MAIN PAGE, try to click on “Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare – recenzja” title and look again on the menu – miraculously fixed, but when you back to the main page – again strong. How do I fix THIS?

I just want to make the text smaller on a particular post. I searched through the support section and found the code to change the font size, but when I type it in it doesn’t end up changing anything. When I go back to edit the page, the code I typed in is gone and now it just reads “<span>” without any of the specifics. Any advice?
-
mdefazio – please post here between backticks (the key to the left of the number 1 on your keyboard) whatever you are trying to post. That way we can see what the problem might be.
You are putting it in the HTML editor, right?

Thanks Vivian. Yes I am putting it in the HTML editor, I think. Above the top right corner of the new post box there are two tabs: “Visual” and “HTML”; I have the “HTML” one tabbed. If that’s not what it means to put it in the HTML editor, I’m not sure.
Here’s an example below. I’m not trying to make the text tiny; it’s just that the template I’ve chosen portrays the text a bit larger than what I’d like most of the time. So I want it to be slightly smaller. Here’s what I was trying:
<span style=”font-size:small”>It’s generally accepted that anger can both be good and bad, productive and destructive. As Willimon points out, “Much of the greatest good worked in the world is through Anger. You can’t say that about any of the other Seven” (69). But as obvious as this paradox may be, it’s quite difficult to determine precisely when anger crosses the line from laudable to lethal. In a couple days I’ll post five types of anger that I see as bad. But first I want to hear what you think.</span>
But when I posted it, it came out just as large as normal. And then when I went in to edit the post again, the initial code was changed and now simply read “<span>” (without the quotations marks).
Any thoughts?

OK, here is the FAQ on font sizes http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/06/12/can-i-change-my-font-font-size/
It looks like you might be using the wrong quote marks (or at least it did when I copied and pasted your code into a test post of mine. Check to see if this works:
<span style="font-size:small">It’s generally accepted that anger can both be good and bad, productive and destructive. As Willimon points out, “Much of the greatest good worked in the world is through Anger. You can’t say that about any of the other Seven” (69). But as obvious as this paradox may be, it’s quite difficult to determine precisely when anger crosses the line from laudable to lethal. In a couple days I’ll post five types of anger that I see as bad. But first I want to hear what you think.</span>HTH

One more question. When I did the same with thing with a multiple paragraph post, it worked for the first paragraph but the following paragraphs were still the larger size. I went back and added the first half of the code before each paragraph and it made them all the right size, but that could get a bit laborious. Is there a trick to not losing code between paragraphs?
-
If you use the HTML editor, you *should* be able to put the code in at the beginning, write your paragraphs and then put the closing tag </span> at the end.
As an alternative, try Windows Live Writer. It makes all of that stuff much easier.

mdefazio,
If you want an offline blog editor, you could try Qumana, which is free, or MarsEdit, which costs $29.95.
Qumana has a WYSIWYG editor but lacks tag support. You “can” enter tags, but those will be added to your blog post, however it won’t add them to the WP tag system as the wp.com editor would.
MarsEdit, will add the tags as the wp.com editor would, however doesn’t have a WYSIWYG… it’d be as if you weren’t using the wordpress visual editor.
Check them out, who knows, you might like one of them.
HTH

And you would have no need to advertise your blog in the forums if you just linked your user name to it as explained in the sticky at the top of the forums.
