two different font sizes in post
-
I just started using the ‘Untitled’ theme. I do not have the CSS upgrade. In my most recent post
http://oneyounglove.com/2013/06/18/diy-guilded-cake-toppers/
the font size changed from large to small half way through and then changed back. I don’t know how this happened and I can’t figure out how to make the font size consistant through out this post. I actually much prefer the look of the smaller size though it appears the rest of my posts are in the larger. Where did this smaller size come from and how can I make it my default size?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It looks like you are copying and pasting into posts. I’ll take a wild guess and say it’s probably Microsoft WORD copying and pasting that’s the issue here.
Microsoft Word is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/

Also note this post here http://visualheart.wordpress.com/2012/05/12/diy-animal-cake-topper/ as you seem to be doing a rerun.

I actually have never copy and pasted from anywhere for my posts. I have always used the ‘new post’ section and type directly in the post section. This post was written when using an old theme (Like I said, I just switched to ‘Untitled’) could that be why the fonts are showing up different? If I’m not copying and pasting will what you suggested still work?
And I have actually never seen or read the post you are referring to but thank you for insinuating that I’m stealing someone else’s content and calling it my own.

Timetheif – I apologize for my last comment. I know better than to repay rudeness and accusations with rudeness and accusations. Let me try again – Thank you for turning me on to a new blog. I have never read or seen this blog before but I like her style and ideas. I’m sure it will be one to read in the future.

If you switch the editor to Text (=code), you’ll see that the code of your post includes lots of junk code like this:
<span style="font-size:13px;">
<em style="font-size:13px;">
<span style=”color:#333333;font-size:13px;”>`
The easy way to clean it up is select all in the Visual editor, copy, switch to Text, select all, paste, then re-insert the images and re-do the link.There are only two ways for such code to be part of a post: you either added it yourself manually in the Text editor (highly unlikely), or you transferred it by copypasting from another source into the Visual editor.

Thank you. The font is now a consistant size. Prior to switching to this theme I was using the CSS upgrade with another theme and had made quite a few changes. Maybe this is the reason for the inconsistencies?
Is it possible to make the font smaller at this point?

For the record I was not being either rude or accusatory. Many bloggers copy and paste day in and day out and there’s nothing wrong with that provided one knows how to do it without creating a mess. Moreover, I assumed that the link I posted was link to another blog of your own and insinuated nothing. -
Prior to switching to this theme I was using the CSS upgrade with another theme and had made quite a few changes.
CSS is theme specific. If you have custom CSS and later change themes, you need to delete whatever CSS you have in the Editor, otherwise, you’ll get undesired results.
To ‘reset’ a theme, you need to delete the CSS in the Editor, make sure the “add to existing CSS” radio button is checked, then save. Things should go back to normal.

No. As I showed in my previous reply, the inconsistencies were due to all that wrong code tags in the Text editor. CSS changes don’t automatically add anything to the post editor; only copypasting into the Visual editor does (as timethief said from the start).
If you have custom CSS and later change themes, you need to delete whatever CSS you have in the Editor, otherwise, you’ll get undesired results.
Not any longer: since the introduction of the new CSS editor, all your custom CSS is automatically deleted when you switch theme.
