Header / font sizing / making things bold
-
I’ve noticed this since switching themes a few months ago to the wonderful Digg 3. Love the theme, except for two little niggles.
First, the title of my blog appears in front of the header image at the top of the site, but the tagline doesn’t. Only a minor annoyance so I didn’t bother mentioning it before, but I thought I’d put it in because I’ve also just noticed this…
Nearly all my posts are made through the site’s admin page itself. If I want to write anything in small font (i.e. “<font size=”1”>), and want to put something in bold within that small writing, it doesn’t show up in bold when I publish it to my site. This applies whether I do it through the WYSIWYG editor, or whether I use the ‘code’ bit.
One very good example is this page: http://hastaelgolsiempre.com/apertura-2007-squad-lists.
Each team name is bold. Underneath that, you have all the players on that club’s first team squad this season. They’re divided into Goalkeepers, Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards, and when I first added this page those divisions were in bold, to make the page a little bit easier to read. Now, you’ll notice, it’s all in small writing with the positions no more obvious. If a viewer wanted (for some reason) to see who Boca Juniors’ midfielders were right now, he’d have to go to Boca’s squad and then read all the way through until he hit the word ‘midfield’.
Why? If I click ‘edit page’, the appropriate coding is all still there, and it looks fine in the editor pane. So how come it doesn’t when you see it on the site?
And once again, if I could have the tagline back, that would be nice…

Ahem. A small correction – the link to the page shouldn’t have that full stop at the end. I didn’t realise it would be included in the link.

I can see that goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards is bold as intended on Vista/FF 2.0.0.10.
Which browser are you using?
-
Newest version of Internet Explorer, in Windows XP SP2. Normal sized font shows a difference in bold, but small font doesn’t…
-
I can see it in bold as well on IE7/Vista. Just to make sure, this is what I’m meant to see?
-
Yep, that looks fine. Glad to know it looks OK for at least some other people, anyway, even if it doesn’t for me. Thanks, Carocat.
Anyone else know about the tagline thing? There should be a bit just underneath my website title saying ‘More fútbol argentino than you can shake a mullet at’, but sadly that fantastic witticism has been lost since I switched themes…

Firefox 2 (for Linux) and Konqueror – Fedora 7 (computer A) is fine. I see what carocat sees.
On IE7 – XP Pro SP2 it still looks bold, it’s just not very obvious. In FF 2 (Windows) it doesn’t look bold at all. (Computer B)

/nod to the other volunteers
Anyone else know about the tagline thing?
The Digg3 theme is not coded to display a tagline.

Well that’s interesting… I’ve just had another look at this page, and suddenly those bits I want bold are showing as bold again for the first time in months on my PC. I have changed precisely no display settings… ah well, thanks anyway guys for your help. And to Timethief as well – that’s a pity, it’s the only grumble I have about the theme itself.
