How can I change the size of Tagline? 2 more questions
-
How can I change the size of the Tagline? I used Custom feature to change the font size, but it didn’t work. It did change the headers, but it kept the tagline at the small size. Why? I have paid $30 to upgrade, so I can play with the fonts, but the program doesn’t let me do a simple thing.
Also, what is the easiest way to change the color of the font of the title page and headlines. It does let me change body text, but it doesn’t allow me to change headlines. Why?
Also, my widgets don’t work. I have dragged them to the right side, but I’m not seeing them on my webpage. Why?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The “fonts” side of things in custom design allows you to change the font family, but it does not allow you to set the font size. Font size is set using the CSS side of the custom design upgrade. Is this the site you are talking about, http://alabno.wordpress.com/ ? If so, changing the “heading” font will change the post/page titles, widget titles, and also the tagline. The preview seems a little broken and sometimes will not show the changes. Also, it seems that it can take a few minutes for a font change to show up on the blog and sometimes you have to clear your browser cache and then force refresh the page to see it.
If you want to change the font family on the tagline only, that can again be done through the CSS. Font sizes are also changed through the CSS.
We can help you with this if you let us know what fonts you want to use.

For the widgets issue it appears as if you have chosen “full-width no sidebar at appearance > theme options. Go there and select either the right or left sidebar layout as you desire and click save changes.

Yes, that’s my website. No, it didn’t change the tagline when I changed the font for headlines. It did change it a bit, but you can see a big difference. I would love the tagline be dark brown and a bit smaleller than my title page.
How do I do that? -

I did what you have told me about the widgets, and it doesn’ work even though I’ve saved the new changes.
How do I clear browse cache? I don’t have refresh on my menu.
Do you know the shortcut keys? -

I did change the color when you highlight the title on the same page, and it worked.
So why I can’t change the layout to add widgets. Something is wrong with the program or it might be might setting that doesn’t allow me to do it. -
Open your pages (home about, etc.) in the editor and set the page template in the attributes module to “sidebar” and then update the page. Also, the “blog” page you have created is not actually a “blog” page. It is just a page named “blog.” To have it show posts like a normal blog, you have to go to settings > reading and select that page to be your “posts” page.
We’ll work on the font sizes and color changes after we get sidebars to show up for you.

I’m seeing an italic sort of hand written font for the tagline right now.
Not knowing if you are on Mac or Windows, and not knowing what browser you are using, keyboard shortcuts are hard to guess it, but to refresh the page, you can go to the view menu in your browser and it should be there. It should also list the keyboard shortcut.

I too am having some problems with the blog summaries at the end of the last post. I am using the new Chateau theme. The summary titles break inconsistently and I thought maybe reducing the size of the font would help. I too, have done the CSS upgrade and find myself a little over my head using that tool. Any thoughts on this?

I have changed the blog page to be actually a blog page, and my post has disappeared!
Now it reads Nothing Found!
How to fix that?
I think that I will go back where I was to see if I can restore my previous post.
So how can I create that blog page and have my previous post up there? -

Also, leave the lettering style of the headlines the same. I like it. I just need it a bit bigger, so headlines on the sidebar are a bit bigger.
Also, if you can make the tagline bigger than the headlines in sidebar but smaller than title page, it would be appreaciated.
I need the font to be darker but not black. It could be dark gray or brown. See what looks better.
Please! -
Well, I did manage to mark that page as blog without losing my post. But now, people can’t post any comments. Why?

All WordPress.com blogs are in the “comment open” state when we get them The only way comments can be closed is (1) if we set defaults on this page > Settings > Discussion http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/ or (2) we disable comments using this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/ or (3) we disable them through CSS editing.
I just left a test comment in on your blog:

Sorry about that duplicate. It was unintended. The front pages of our WordPress blogs are designed to load quickly and showcase content so comments are collapsed on that page. By clicking the comments link or the post title on the front page the posts will open on their own page where all comments display below them.
In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog with many comments if the comments did not collapse on the front page there would be serious performance drawbacks. The page would take a long time to load and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.
To leave a comment on your posts all your visitors have to do is read a post and click the bright blue “leave a comment” link.

Can you create a different sidebar for each page?
“The Custom Design upgrade, however, does not permit the editing of the core PHP or template files of any theme…” > http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/
I’d also like to suggest that you read this tutorial that explains how the Twenty Ten theme is codes to operate, as I think it’s critical that you understand that before proceeding with CSS editing. . The workings of Duster / Twenty Eleven > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/workings-of-duster/
Best wishes :)
