  Hello,

  I am designing a blog page for a non-profit organization and I was wondering it is possible to raise the size of the font in the title (where is says “COMMUNITY COUNCIL FOR THE HOMELESS AT FRIENDSHIP PLACE” at the top of page) so it is more easily read? I am using the Reddle theme and here is the link to my page: http://friendshipplace.wordpress.com/.

  My second question is whether or not there is a way to take off some of the posts from the main page and make them only visible when you click on their category under the menu bar.

  Howdy,

  You can use the Custom Design feature to change the size or font of your header text:

  As for your second question, you can change the number of posts that appear on a page under Settings -> Reading.

  Finally, you might want to check out this page if you want to customize your navigation menu:

  Hello,

  Thank you for your help. When I attempted to change the size and font using the Custom Design feature (I purchased it for $30 already), it was not letting me change it. I was wondering it there was a code I could plug into the CSS that would do otherwise?

  Thank you!
  Best,

  When I visit your site, I’m able to see your custom fonts. Could you try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies?

  Alternatively, if you’d prefer to change the font size using CSS, you can enter the following snippet into your Appearance -> Custom Design page:

  #site-description {
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  }

  You’ll want to change the number next to rem to increase the size, since it’s currently set to 1.1.

  Thank you so much, Evarlese! It worked! Also, my question about the posts, I don’t mind how many posts appear on the main page, I just do not want the posts under the “Events” category to appear. I would prefer for those specific posts to be been only after clicking the events link under the categories tab. Is that a possibility?

  Thanks for your help!

  Also, is there a possibility to change the font the site title (COMMUNITY COUNCIL FOR THE HOMELESS AT FRIENDSHIP PLACE) to the font style, “LFT Etica Display”?

  Thank you again, I appreciate your time and help.

  Hm, it’s not possible to remove a certain category from your posts page. However, one option would be to set a static front page for your site:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/front-page

  Then, organize your posts by category. You can add category pages to your site’s menu by following this guide:

  LTF Etica Display appears to be a Typekit font. If you’d like to use that font, you can do so via your Appearance -> Custom Design page. If it’s not listed among the fonts available, you may want to try using the Advanced mode:
