In this tutorial you will learn how to change your font’s size and color. Before we get started you should understand that the font style is built into the FREE custom theme you received (12 month membership) when you first signed up. What this means is although you can change the color and size of your font, the style will remain the same. There is an exception to this, if you are comfortable editing code, you can use the HTML tab to change the font style.

To get started you must be in the visual mode where you write a post; here is the path Dashboard>Posts>Add New>Visual. You can either change the font size and color as you write your post or you can write your post and then go back, highlight the portion you wish to change, and then make the changes. I would make sure to click the button before the button just to be certain that the size and color changes you made are what you intended. BE AWARE: Changing font size from the visual tab will change it for that entire paragraph or section, not for individual words. If you are comfortable editing code, you can use the HTML tab to change individual words or phrases. Below is a visual roadmap to how you change the font size and color from the visual tab (Click for a larger image). PLEASE NOTE: Learning to write in code is an involved process, I will not be explaining how to write or re-write code. Many communities have classes available through community centers, high schools, and other continuing education centers that can teach you how to write code if you are interested.

In the second image (Click for larger version) you can see an example of a post that has changed font size and color. Below the image you will see a point by point explanation of this; numbers and colors correspond to those in the image.

1. Title has a default larger font with underlining – though it is not bolded.

2. Links have a default color built into your theme – though the size can be changed.

3. This is the un-altered font size and color – built into theme.

4. Changed font color (and increased size, bolded, and underlined).

5. Default font color with increased size, bolded, and underlined.

6. Default font color with increased size.
