  HI There,
  I am having some trouble with formatting and was hoping you could help!

  1. How do I change the order in my main menu? I would like mine to read: HOME, PORTFOLIO, ABOUT but I can’t make the last two switch places.

  2. How do I chose the font and formatting within pages? FOr instance, on my PORTFOLIO page the first heading I have (Linocut) is in a special font but the second (Pen and Ink) is not. I am not sure how to make them match. The same goes for the ABOUT page where the first line of my bio is in one font and the rest is in another.

  Thanks!
  ALice

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

  There are two approaches you can use. This first one is when you only have Pages.

  1. Page Order – This approach is for those who have only Pages and have not created a custom menu. Use the Page attributes module to order numerically rather than alphabetically.

  2. This approach is for those who have created a custom menu and have added pages to that custom menu.
  create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  add the pages and sub-pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
  order them http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-of-menu-items-and-creating-sub-menus

  Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
  If you have a custom menu then you must establish consistency. Check the Pages sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

  Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved

  2. How do I chose the font and formatting within pages?

  There is not a free and easy way to change fonts throughout a free hosted WordPress.COM blog wearing any theme. These are 3 ways to change fonts on WordPress.com blogs.

  (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.

  (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/#custom-fonts
