Can the post font size be changed in WordPress?

Question

A friend of mine recently incorporated the Blog Software WordPress into his website, and he'd like to make the font size in his post bigger.

If you have access to WordPress: Go to the "Dashboard:" under "Right Now" "At a Glance" there are four entries: Post, Page, Category, Tags. When you click on post and then make a post, which solicits comments, you have an opportunity to make the text bold, italicize it, center it, etc., but there seems not to be an option to change the font size.

Does anyone know if it is possible to make the font larger or smaller? It may not be possible.

Hi hopefully a particular contributor and i won't mention his name right "Ron" the cockroach will come behind me and post his same typical cookie cutter generic completely unhelpful answer and amazingly win for best answer with 3 votes. Like he does everytime somehow? I know he wouldn't be cheating because you can tell by how much thought he puts into his answers. Ok now that i'm done ranting here's the answer. LOL



Click on the Wordpress toolbar Show/Hide Kitchen sink button to see all the available toolbar buttons. Hover over all your toolbar buttons until you find the one called Show/Hide Kitchen Sink and click on it. You should now see a Font Size toolbar button.



First off I'm assuming this is a wordpress.org site not a wordpress.com freebie site? Don't even bother mucking around with the default Wordpress wysiwyg editor called TinyMCE because it is very limited in what it has to offer. Install the TinyMCE Advanced Wordpress plugin and then you will need to do a drag and drop set up to add more toolbar buttons to the default Wordpress toolbar. You can add all kinds of formatting, fonts, tables,styles, layers buttons, etc to the stripped down Wordpress toolbar. The other way to control font sizes and styles is by editing your themes style.css file. All Wordpress themes have a style.css file. It will be located in the theme folder that you are using and will be called style.css. You would typically change the font style or sizes sitewide in the style.css file so if you just want post specific font changes you can make them in each individual Wordpress post from the toolbar instead.



Now with all of that said if you are talking about a wordpress.com site you only have the Show/Hide Kitchen sink option and you are stuck with the default wysiwyg editor because you can't install plugins on freebie wordpress.com websites. Hope that helps. Good Luck! :)



I just want to congratulate Ron the cockroach on winning the best answer for this question in advance. Hmm i wonder if he'll win with same 3 votes as he always does. LOL



Update:

I see that Ron "Mr. Roach" has just contributed his carefully thought out answer here and since his answer is obviously much better than mine I have received 3 thumb down votes of course. LOL silly little bug.

it incredibly is interior the stylesheet - in maximum subject concerns, form.css. you may edit from the Dashboard by using going to visual attraction/Editor, which will often raise the stylesheet by using default. A browser may additionally help surprisingly lots any font that its person has put in. (of direction, if the person would not have a special font put in, it is going to use a default font rather.)
