  I have an idea about making my own graphic (medieval) initials and that is only possible if I can code directly into the CSS.
  You know when a text starts with a big beginning-letter that stretches for about two or three rows.
  But the only free theme I found that uses initials is ‘Scrawl’… is there any other free themes that uses initials?

  I want my text not only to be good reading, I also want them to be pleasing to the eye and the style I write in fits very well with initials.

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

  Aha! You mean drop caps and there are other themes that have them but there is no feature filter we can use to locate them.
