  I am using “Theme: Thirteen by Beccary” and when i put my full title at the top, “FoodAllergyMom”, my father-in-law said he could only see “foodAllergyM” on his computer. I tried shortening the title to “FoodAlrgyMom” but then he only saw “FoodAlrgy” and half of an “M”. Do I need to do something differently or is it just his computer? I am seeing the full title on mine.

  What’s the url for your blog please? What browser(s) are you using?

  I am using explorer and I don’t know how to find the URL. I’m kind of computer illiterate.

  I can’t find the url but it is one of the design choices for the wordpress dashboard under presentation and is titled “thirteen by Beccary”.

  I am so sorry, I just reread that and realized you wanted the url for my blog not for the background…still don’t know the answer but I will go find it.

  Is this your blog: http://allergymom.wordpress.com/ ?

  The size of the text displayed, and the height of the text can vary from browser to browser a little. Also, if someone has set their browser to display a larger text size, that can have an effect also, especially since Thirteen has a limited amount of space for the title text.

  You might want to see if there is another theme that you like that has more room for the title.

  By the way, the URL is the “address” of your blog and is shown in the “address bar (starts with http://).

  The URL is what you type in the address bar of your browser, for example:

  http://www.espn.com
  http://www.msnbc.com

  So, your blog URL is:
  http://allergymom.wordpress.com/

  I see I was replying while you were.

  The size of the font used in the title can be changed, but only with the paid CSS upgrade, and is not recommended for those that do not have CSS editing experience.

  Thank you. I think I will stick with my original title which was FoodAllergyMom. My father in law is old <sorry Joe> and probably does have his text set for large print. I would think that the “average” person would have their settings standard and would see it the way I am seeing it. Right?

  Many bloggers try to keep their blog titles and urls the same to make it easier for their readers. However, having a title that’s different from the url is strictly your choice.

  Every person browsing the internet on a windows system can increase the size of font they see on any website by holding down the “ctrl” key and clicking “+” simultaneously.
