    (1) Your blog’s title (or name) can be entered on this page and the “just another wordpress.com blog” can be replaced with your own tagline there as well. > Settings > General (don’t forget to click “Save Changes” after you have made the changes.)
    Choosing a title and tagline that will be effective in terms of branding and keywords for search engine results is important in terms of creating a targeted traffic flow to your blog http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/06/22/creating-an-effective-blog-tagline/

    (2) There is more than one approach you can take to increase font size. However, do be aware that we can all increase the font size of any webpage we are reading in our browsers. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/19/how-to-change-font-text-size-in-your-browser/

    • Change font in header image
      If you have a theme with the customizable header option, you can change your customizable header on your wordpress.COM at any time, and use a free font or one you purchase of your own choice to place your blog title and tagline on the image.
    • Changing font style on posts or pages either post by post or page by page
      We wordpress.com users can change font styles and colors on our posts and pages, a post and a page at a time. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/
    • Changing font style and color throughout the whole blog
      We cannot access the templates in our wordpress.com blogs and edit the underlying php and html. However, if we choose to pay for a CSS upgrade and undertake CSS editing then we can change font styles and colors throughout the entire blog. However, this upgrade is NOT recommended to those who do not have CSS editing experience as there is no Staff support, and only 1 volunteer currently chooses to expend time & energy on helping others learn CSS editing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editing-css/

    (3) This is the link to the wordpress support documentation for you to bookmark http://en.support.wordpress.com/
    Place your mouse on the anchor text for the link and highlight (select) it. Find the icon that looks like a link and click it. Complete the information in the pop-op box and click “Insert” to complete the process.
    * Insert/edit link
    Link URL
    Target
    Title
    Class

    “Insert”

    Thanks timethief, I’ll try all these, though it’s a bit complicated for me.

    It’s not really that difficult – it just looks that way. :) Bookmark this thread and then work through it step by step.

    P.S. It’s good to meet you again here and thanks for becoming a subscriber. :)

    This is all very helpful, thanks. Regarding adding a blog link within a post…I was able to add a link and I thought I titled it properly but when I published the post the link still reads as code, not the blog link. What am I doing wrong? Thank you
