  I have viewed your blog using Firefox 6.0.2 and only see the issue you describe on this page http://ww1epitaphs.wordpress.com/cemeteries-from-france/. Have you done any CSS editing on this blog? Or did you change the font size and color using the editor.

  I’m not seeing that on this site, http://ww1epitaphs.wordpress.com/ , are you talking about another?

  What browser are you seeing this in? Can you take a screenshot, upload it to your media library and post a link so we can see what you are seeing?

  FWIW I see this only in the red colored all in capital lettering string “PAGES CURRENTLY BEING CONSTRUCTED: PLEASE VISIT BACK SOON…” on this page only > http://ww1epitaphs.wordpress.com/cemeteries-from-france/

  The problem appears to be in the stylesheet on line 20.
  Modify the font size contained within this code:

  body, input, textarea {
  color: #373737;
  font: 300 15px/1.625 “Helvetica Neue”,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
  }

  @strodick
  Please link your WordPress.com username to your WordPress.com blog and remove the link to the site it’s currently linked to. Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary WordPress.com blog and then save changes.

  I’m not seeing the issue in Firefox 6.0.2, Safari 5.1, or Opera something point something so it is difficult for me to figure out a fix. You can try increase the line height (the 1.625em number) but a little, perhaps 1.65 and see what happens. Past that, without being able to see the issue and try some things, I’m sort of at a loss.
