  Hello I have been scrolling through my website for a few hours and I just cannot figure out how to make the font on my sidebar and widgets smaller. Where can I go to change this?

  Hi there –

  You’ll need to use some CSS to change that font size.

  For example, you can try the following to reduce the paragraph text in the sidebar:

  .sidebar p {
  font-size: 12px;
  }

  You’d adjust the number there until it looks how you want it to.

  For the widget titles, try (again, adjusting the number):

  h1, .site-title, .alpha {
  font-size: font-size: 1em;
  }

  To see how I figured this out, we’ve got a great series on the Daily Post teaching our users basic CSS. You should check these out! They’re a big help:
