  I was editing an individual post when all of a sudden the font of all my posts suddenly got smaller. Do you know how I can fix it? I’m using the twenty ten theme.

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

  That sounds like an unclosed Span tag. Use the solution here: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/sidebar-at-the-bottom-and-related-issues/ I know it’s not a sidebar issue, but this should fix it.

  Thanks, I know what post I was editing when it happened so I’ll see if I can find something wrong in the code – I can see I need to learn basic html if I want to make my blogging life easier!

  What I find is, you don’t need to understand the code to fix it. You’re looking for an open Span tag, so just look for pairs.

  There’s also the possibility you did something to your browser View setting, but if you’re not seeing it anywhere else, probably not.

  I just realized my blog looks the same on my daughter’s computer. I got rid of some suspicious looking code – but the blog still looks the same on my computer with small print.

  Did you select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” on your Settings->Writing page? Once you do that and edit the post with the error, it should fix things.

  Thanks – I hadn’t, but I just did. That should save me some mistakes in the future.

  The blog print on my blog is still small though. Is it possible I just changed the browser view setting for my blog? (I’ve already gotten rid of the suspicious coding, but just realized it was still in pairs – it was called span styles.)

  Actually, I think it’s okay now – it was okay all along I think on my daughter’s computer (or at least after the first code adjustment). Now I just pressed command + (I have a mac) on my blog and it increased the print. So I think I’m okay.

  Thanks so much for your help. The settings adjustment will save me from future problems and just to know about the pairs helps to know where I went wrong.

  I don’t know why that setting isn’t selected as the default, but it should be.

  Me neither – but I’m glad you told me about it!
