  Hi. I might be a total idiot I don’t know but I find it really difficult to use wordpress and as a result I see I don’t blog much. I have decided today to give it a go again but I can’t seem to make my blog look the way I would like. Maybe because I am a Mac user, I am too spoiled and used to drag and drop.

  I have been trying to change a picture I have in my right column in the widgets and it asks for a url … I have managed to change the pic on the avatar thing, a different picture appears on the admin browser in the right hand corner but I can’t find an url to put in the widget.

  Can you help ? Also I think the text is in too small letters in the blog but I can’t seem to be able to make them bigger … a bit tiny for a comfortable read.

  Thanks in advance for your reply,

  Alexandra

  Hi Alexandra,

  If you’d uploaded the photo you want to insert into your Image Widget, you can get the file URL from your Dashboard -> Media page. Under the photo that you want to use, click on Edit and then copy the File URL.

  Once you’ve copied the File URL, paste it into the URL field for the Image Widget:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/

  You can change the size of the font in your posts by following this guide:

  If you’d like to change the size of the font for your entire site, you can do so with the Custom Design upgrade:

  Thanks !!! oooooooh now I am going to check your blog !!! I like the title !!! We have something in common !

  This being said, for the font size, I really don’t want to pay but maybe I’ll have to consider it at some point !

  Thanks again !

  Thanks Alexandra :) I’d say, for the fonts, your best bet is to add the HTML code to your HTML editor with each post that’s described in this page:

  It seems like the primary font that you’d like to increase is the font for your posts, and that will do the trick for you.

  The only theme at this time that offers comments on the front page is P2: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/p2/
