Wordpress help for an old timer?

Post by Paul Carmel »

Hello you lot!

We have been doing a WP blog of our travels mainly because of parent pressure, so they can see we haven't fallen of the edge of the earth............it is flat and I can prove it! Anyway so far it's gone ok and the only complaint is the font size. Now maybe I can't see the wood for the trees but I can't find anywhere on the dashboard to increase the font size, any clues would be be greatly received.
Cheers

Mmm - interesting. Having just attended a word press course (only a day though) maybe I should know but you seem to have to play a lot with word press to understand it! I am truly a beginner so feel free to ignore me!

The font is set by the theme I believe? How about if you go to Appearance - Editor and find font family or font and change that? You must make sure it changes just the content and not the headers, footers as well etc. I think you can also change the size on a page, I found this info when I did a search "there is option in page, select the content and click on sizes option..select the size of g"

Let us know if you find the answer!

Hey Paul, great to see that you're still dropping in here! Can't help though :roll: . I'm supposed to be doing a website in WP for our local village hall and I really can't work out how to even get started, but you give me hope - if you've managed it then I'm sure I can! :D

I will if you want :shock: But I will not be held responsible for the boredom factor that might push you over the edge!
