Font Size Larger, in Georgia 16 Please
-
I am still trying to figure out how to do something very simple. My blog in the latest post is in Georgia 16, which is a nice size and font. However, I am not sure how I got that.
I have been referred to custom design. They don’t have that font. I don’t mind spending 30 dollars to get the font size bigger in an easy way. Will this allow me to do it?Also, are there other options besides Windows Live Writer? Thank you.

Are you by chance on a Mac?
To change the font once and for all, it would require changing it in the CSS via the Custom Design Upgrade. You can change it on a post by post basis either by using HTML, or by using a blog client that gives you that capability.

I’m on a regular pc, not a mac.
The font for the twenty ten them is Georgia (body text). I somehow managed to get it to be larger for that one post.
Georgia 16 is nice and big–easier to read.I don’t know HTML or what a “blog client” is or how to do CSS. What would be the easiest to learn and use (especially use—I don’t mind sweating it out a bit –with lots of questions for forum–to learn something. .
Thank you. -
That post is actually really messed up. As an example, here is the opening of one paragraph that has two different fonts declared and one of them declared twice.
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:16pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;">What program were you using to do that?
This would be what I would do. Write your entire post, edit it, change it, get it like you want it and then switch to the HTML tab, go to the very top, make a blank line and put the following there.
<div style="font-size: 120%;>Then go to the very bottom of the post, make a blank line and put this at the very bottom.
</div>It is not a good idea to use points for font sizes on the web. Point sizes are for print media. The 120% I have above makes the text 20% larger than it was originally.
On your latest post, I would suggest editing it, highlight everything in the post and click the “remove formatting” button on the lower row of icons in the editor and then do the above.

Yes, it is completely messed up :) It has two different fonts. I just pasted in a correction. I’m going to experiment with what you just said (that is entering that code).
I tried that a couple weeks ago and nothing happened.
But I need to learn this. ..Melissa

Okay, I did what you said and what happened when I previewed it was that I saw the font was smaller and that code you said to enter–showed–so I had a line of code at the beginning of the post and the small code at the end. .. So I did not update, but kept it.
Just typing that in–somehow doesn’t activate it. ..
I’m missing something. -
Okay-I forgot to switch to the Html tab–and I did and followed your instructions. However, it idd not make or keep the font bigger. It made the font smaller–which looks paltry.
I noticed when I went back to edit it under the html tab–I had put this per your directions:
<div style=”font-size: 120%;>
However, when I went back most of that was gone-it was just more like this </div>
So I pasted it again and even increased it to 160%–but no matter what I did the font would not budge–would not change size. ..
So what good is this? :( -

Which post are you working on and is it published? I just tried in one of my test blogs and had 400% sized font in a post (about 3 inches high).

Oops, my bad, I missed an ending double quote. Use this on the opening.
`<div style=”font-size: 120%;”>

The internet was crashing. . .That is the same code that you gave me before, I think. I keep looking at it to see if there is something extra.

the post is the top one–about Edison getting 40 million for their stupid smart meter program.

In my last code, see the ” right before the > ? That was what was missing in my first code.
I see the opening div tag in that post, but not the style stuff, and I’ve added it via Firebug and it worked for me. I also added some more to increase the line-height some since the lines were too close together I thought. This is what I used just now.
<div style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 120%;">
