    This blog is for my elderly mother, who cannot learn to edit code, etc. Is there a way to make post fonts (and perhaps some other fonts) larger, so that they are easier for her and other seniors to read? I see there is an upgrade that allows you to change the “fonts in your theme”, but I don’t know if that allows you to change fonts in posts, too. Not sure what “fonts in your theme” means. I have a Blogspot blog, and you can easily change the font size in your posts. Why not here?

    Hello there,
    We can all control the size of text we view on any site on the interent. It’s very easy to increase or decrease font size. See: How to Change Font (Text) Size in Your Browser > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/19/how-to-change-font-text-size-in-your-browser/

    If you are expecting to be able to click a button and change fonts throughout your blog then it’s not that easily done.

    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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/

    (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/

    Note: A few themes do provide for changing font color in the Blog Title and/or optional Tagline and/or links. In the majority of themes font changes to font families, colors and size in the blog title, tagline, menu, post titles, page titles, categories and tags, widget headings, comments, and links cannot be done without CSS editing.

    I have a Blogspot blog, and you can easily change the font size in your posts. Why not here?

    The blogspot software is completely different than the software that’s used here. Our WordPress.com blogs are not free-standing. This is a multiuser blogging platform. Every blog here wearing the same theme is using the same underlying template. Only Staff can access and edit those files as every edit they make affects every blog wearing the same theme.
