  Hi, I have recently changed my theme to twenty ten. I have the upgrade where I can change font, colours, sizes. Yet when I try to change the font size in my sidebar nothing works. Maybe someone could help me, the writing is so small its hardly visible. When I go to customise the fonts it is changing the headings and text in the posts but not the sidebar? The wesbiste I am trying to fix is http://www.happylittlekiwi.com Thanks.

  Hi there,

  I see what you mean about the font size in your sidebar not changing. You can make that font size larger by adding custom CSS to change the font size in those places. To add custom CSS, go to Appearance > Customize in your dashboard and then click on CSS in the customizer tool. You can paste in custom CSS in the CSS editor there and then save your changes.

  To make the font larger in your sidebar, you can add this CSS:

  .widget-title {
  font-size: 21px;
  }
  
  .wf-active body {
  font-size: 14px;
  }

  The first part will change the title of the widgets in your sidebar, and the second part will change the body text in those widgets. You can adjust the number to get the size you want. You can also read more about using custom CSS here: Custom CSS

  I also saw that you are having some trouble with the placement of your sidebar. It looks like there was a character in your latest post that was causing the sidebar to be pushed to the bottom of the page, but it should be resolved now.

  If you have any questions, please let me know!
