    I am lost.
    I want to make the font size smaller in my theme.
    I bought the upgrade that allows me to use the CSS editor, but I can’t figure out how to view the coding, let alone change it.

    when I search for help topics it tells me to edit a style sheet, but I can’t find where I can access that. or it gives me something to paste in the css editor, but it doesn’t do anything.

    I’m sorry. I’m a total noob.

    will a kind soul please tell me what to do?

    i’m using the bushwick theme and I want to reduce the font size across the whole site so that it is readable on mobile.

    The doc lexiornelas linked to shows what to do if you want to change the font size of all the elements proportionately. If you want to target specific elements, you need to use CSS editing.
    On wordpress.com you don’t edit the original stylesheet, you make changes by adding code in the CSS editor.
    To view the original CSS of an element, you use the Inspect Element tool of your browser or a developer add-on such as Firebug in Firefox.
    Most CSS is theme specific, so don’t copypaste any code if it’s not designed for the theme you’re using.
