Hi there, I’m wondering what kind of code I would use to be able to either play with the font or italicize the links in my header menu without it affecting anything else on the page – I have the “Forever” theme. Thanks!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Ohp, sorry about that. It’s http://halfasleepblog.wordpress.com (or just http://halfasleepstudio.com because I have a custom domain.)

To change the font or italicize links just in the header menu in the Forever theme, try this:
```
#access a {
	font-family:Georgia, serif;
	font-style:italic;
}
```

Note that the fonts you pick must be accessible on the computer viewing the site or you must setup the advanced mode on your Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts page and add the fonts you’d like to use through the Typekit editor before you can use them on your site in a font stack.
