Text questions

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I have a couple questions about the text within a post or page.

    Am I able to use Comic Sans font on a post or page? I have tried to copy and paste it in, but it doesn’t seem to transfer.

    Also, if I want the Title text bigger, is there a way to do that?

    Thank you,

    Karin and Jen

    Hi there,

    You are able to use comic sans in your posts or pages, but you will have to code it by hand for every post. Alternatively, you could buy the custom design upgrade which would allow you to “set” the font on your site to Comic Sands.

    To change the size of the title, you will need the Custom design upgrade.

    If you decide you want to skip the upgrade, and just change the font by hand, here’s what you do. Go to the “text” tab for each post and add the following code to the elements you want to style:

    style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"

    Here’s an example. If your text tab originally looked like this:

    <p style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;>This is a paragraph of text on my blog. Everything between the p's in brackets is one paragraph<p>

    To change the font to Comic Sans you would change the code to this:

    <p>This is a paragraph of text on my blog. Everything between the p's in brackets is one paragraph<p>

    You can add the style information to any of the tags, not just the paragraph tags.

    Does that make sense?

    I see I have the examples in reverse order–sorry about that. Here is what I meant.

    If your text tab originally looked like this:

    <p>This is a paragraph of text on my blog. Everything between the p’s in brackets is one paragraph</p>

    To change the font to Comic Sans you would change the code to this:

    <p style=”font-family:Comic Sans MS;>This is a paragraph of text on my blog. Everything between the p’s in brackets is one paragraph</p>

    You can add the style information to any of the tags, not just the paragraph tags.

    Does that make sense?

    Ok, I haven’t had coffee and obviously I need to stop answering questions until I do. One more attempt at getting this example right.

    If your text tab originally looked like this:

    <p>This is a paragraph of text on my blog. Everything between the p's in brackets is one paragraph</p>

    To change the font to Comic Sans you would change the code to this:

    <p style="font-family:Comic Sans MS";>This is a paragraph of text on my blog. Everything between the p's in brackets is one paragraph</p>

    You can add the style information to any of the tags, not just the paragraph tags.

    Does that make sense?
