Google Chrome displaying blog differently
-
We have edited the CSS to allow a larger font size than the template we selected so that the blog is easier to read but the font is still displaying small with Google’s Chrome. Any ideas on why or how we can get a consistent font size across different web browsers?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Regardless of which fonts you may wish to choose to jazz up your blog with your browser and your visitors’ browsers can only use the fonts installed in the same computer. If a reader does not have a specific font installed on his / her computer, the browser will determine which font is displayed. There are a very limited number of fonts (in English/Western languages) which are common for most operating systems/computers/browsers.
Here’s a link to a cross browser compatibility checker http://browsershots.org -
If you are asking about that site you have linked to your wordpress.com username that is not a wordpress.com site, then know this. We provide support on this wordprerss.com support forum only to those who are asking for help with blogs that are free hosted by wordpress.com. If you require support for any site that’s hosted elsewhere then you must post to this forum > http://wordpress.org/support/ because wordpress.com and wordpress.org run on different software.

Thanks for sharing this information.
FYI our Word Press account is linked to our website but our blog is hosted on Word Press and is a wordpress.com adddress:

Thanks for sharing the URL of the wordpress.com blog to which you refer. You could consider linking it to your wordpress.com username instead of linking your website to it to avoid confusion in the future. Or you could post the URL every time you need help with the wordpress.com blog and post to this forum. :)

I have shared what I think above. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/google-chrome-displaying-blog-differently?replies=4#post-441662 I hope others will share what they think with you as well.

Thanks Timethief. I’ll ask about updating our profile and in the meantime include our blog URL in any posting. :-)

I had to take down most of my images from my sidebar because they looked horrible on Internet Explorer. Pages look differently on different browsers.
I haven’t checked this site in a very long time and don’t know if it still works because it’s not going through for me at this second. But check it out later. It takes a screenshot of your site from all these different browsers showing you what it looks like. Or maybe try finding an alternate site if this one is really over.

No problem – you made me laugh at myself ‘cuz I’ve done this too and I needed ta laugh today. :D

so now we gotta worry for 3 browsers when designing, I rarely use IE though but now chrome? what’s going to happen next on this? Can’t we create standards?
uhm… there are more than “3 browsers”… can’t believe you didn’t know that…
besides, it seems you’re spamming the forums; you’re trying to look helpful but you’re just posting irrelevant answers. -
@mee: standards are good. Here’s a standard for you. A response to a forum posting should not include a link irrelevant to the topic.

Well it seems that the problem was more a funciton of latent formating carrying over from the original word document than with Chrome itself. At least that is what we think right now. If this issue reappears I will post a new question. Thank you all for your input.
