Question about HTML (and wordpress)

[amazon_syren]

So. A couple of weeks ago, Something Happened to my Syrens blog -- now all the posts (and the dashboard) are in Tiny Font and it's hard on my eyes and I don't know how to fix it.

Right now, I'm editing a bunch of my previous posts so that they are in "large" arial font -- which basically makes them big enough - and sans-serif enough - to actually be read without squinting. However I'd like to be able to edit the actual code so that ALL posts are readable in future without having to tweak everything individually.

(I'd like to do that with the "dashboard" for dreamwidth, too, actually, as everything is Tiny and it's bugging me. Note: This is not the case for LJ or either of my other wordpress blogs, so... Bwah?)

I'm wondering if there's a way to go into the codes - without having to upgrade to a "cusomizable blog" - and fix the font (and particularly size) so that my text - in posts and on the dashboard - is more easily readable?

Help?


Thanks a tonne,
Amazon.

I should be able to futz about and fix it, if you'd like?

That would be awesome! :-)

How would we go about doing that? :-)

You'd go into your WP dashboard and make a second admin account, which you could pass over to me. I'll futz around, see where the glitch is, and then hand the account back over to you or just delete it myself.

In DW, if you don't want to change your theme, go to customize style and the tab "Fonts" and you can change font sizes for your journal.

Question about Wordpress, do you type your posts directly in Wordpress or do you write them on Word or something and then paste? Because if it's the latter, you might want to use the HTML side instead of rich text, because rich text will carry over all the code nonsense from Wordpress, which will also define the font in your entry.

Your font size in both also looks pretty standard to me, so check that it isn't just your browser's zoom setting.
