    Hello everybody,
    i need to resolve this problem: I want to make the Fontsize in the Articles of my blog bigger, (e.g. +25%) so that one can read it whitout a microscope :-), just a little more than it is now, for relaxed reading it!

    How do i do this? can you tell me WHERE in the css i must paste/change WHAT for that?

    Second Problem: How do i change my css at all? What i did is: I klick on “show original css”, then i take the code from the editor and copy it. then I klick “return” in the explorer and paste the copy into the css-editor-field. then i klick “show”, and then, my header-image is gone :-(
    what must i do to have the personal image still there after savin the new css?

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

    We need a link to the blog, starting with http.

    The CSS upgrade is not recommended for new users. Have you reviewed the resources listed in the sticky threads at the top of the CSS forum? There’s not much support for newbies in the forums, as only a couple of people know their way around.

    Your trying to use a custom header in your CSS, you cant use the “Custom Image Header” page after you do that, you need to insert and code your own header via CSS.

    Like raincoaster said, “The CSS upgrade is not recommended for new users.”. Try looking around google and the css forums.

    Do not paste the entire CSS into the edit window. That will end up breaking all the relative URL’s in the CSS and cause you grief. What you want to do is to only put into the CSS edit window the specific sections and only the specific declarations you are going to be modifying and then make sure “add to existing… is selected.

    If this is your body section in the original CSS

    body {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
-x-system-font:none;
background:#9BC3D5 url(images/bg_body.gif) repeat-x scroll left top;
color:#4B5D67;
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:70%;
font-size-adjust:none;
font-stretch:normal;
font-style:normal;
font-variant:normal;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:normal;
position:relative;
text-align:center;
}

    and all you want to do is adjust the font size then you would put the following into the edit window and modify the size as you see fit:

    body {
font-size:70%;
}

    This makes it far easier to keep track of exactly what you have modified, and also keeps from breaking the relative URL’s in the CSS.

    That was extremely helpful to me! I didn’t know you only needed to put the part you wanted to edit in the edit window. Yea!
