the bugs stand and need to be addressed. to reiterate —

1. the option to completely turn off and remove the visual editor must be returned as a writing option.
2. the visual editor/TinyMCE needs to be fixed so it does not erroneously insert " " where it was not ever requested and cause unwanted line breaks, especially in the title/css- ".entry-title."

this should not be happening in the title/css - ".entry-title".

this has been reported as far back as 2007, in these posts here. it has never been properly fixed or resolved —

this causes problems in themes like we use for http://mindfulfitnessmovement.wordpress.com using the “sight” theme on the home page, as it causes the final words to be forced down below the featured pic on a post excerpt, creating an unnatural and not elegant looking break in the line.

this issue doesn't happen if you compose in the html/text editor alone.

i have tried getting rid of the " " several times. i have tried, several times, to type just a space in, update or save, and go look at the preview. same issue, the " " is still there. i have tried cutting and pasting a normal space into where the " " is and then saving/updating. still, the " " comes back in the .entry-title.

this is really, really very annoying. also, in these previous posts, the recommendation was to turn off the visual editor in your user profile options. i have been to the user profile options, settings options, general & writing options — nowhere, any longer, is there any option to turn the visual editor/TinyMCE off. yet nowhere in the wordpress.com documentation does it say that the option to turn off the visual editor is no longer available.

so there are two bugs that need fixing here —

1. the option to completely turn off and remove the visual editor must be returned as a writing option.
2. the visual editor/TinyMCE needs to be fixed so it does not erroneously insert " " where it was not ever requested and cause unwanted line breaks, especially in the title/css- ".entry-title."

please advise, especially how i file a bug on this specifically for wordpress.com (not wordpress.org).

I have made this css modification and I am not getting the expected result with in all area's of my site.

<br /> .entry-title {<br /> font-size: 24px;<br /> line-height: 28px;<br /> }<br />

I would expect this to modify all entries of class .entry-title but it is not doing such. The entry when you go into the post is not being modified.

I have taken some screen shots of the issue and put them here

.section-title h1 {
	font-size: 1.1em;
}

I am hoping someone can help me figure out how to center the entry date on my blog posts. I have purchased a design upgrade and my blog is here: http://sea-skylark.com.

I have already changed the Entry Title and Entry Meta to align center, but as you can see my Entry Meta is a little off center. I have tried messing with the padding, etc., but I can't seem to figure out how to perfectly center it with the Entry Title. Is there something I'm missing?

Any help with this is much appreciated!

#site-title {
	color:#303030;
	font-family:"Palatino", serif;
	font-weight:lighter;
	font-size:60px;
	float:left;
	position:relative;
	margin:0;
	text-transform:lowercase;
	text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;
}

That CSS does appear to work. I tested out the example you posted earlier, and that also worked for me. It's possible that *if* you had left one of the Fonts page selections in place, that was overriding your CSS before (I'm not sure what your settings were when you first wrote in). Please post another reply here if you are still having trouble.

Note: If the name of a font family is more than one word, it must be in quotation marks, like font-family: "Times New Roman".

I've been able to change the "menu" and "entry title" fonts on my own with little problem. What I don't understand is why, even when I change the font in the "Site Title" section, nothing happens?

I just want to be able to use a different font for my blog title and sidebar (date, categories, etc.) than for each individual posting. And all I want to use are very basic fonts: Tahoma and Palatino Linotype.

This is what my customized CSS looks like:

#site-title {
color:#000;
font-family:"Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:80px;
margin:0;
text-transform:lowercase;
text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;
letter-spacing:-3px;
text-decoration:none;
}

But "Oswald," Helvetica, Arial, San-Serif is what shows up on my screen. :/

body, input, textarea, .entry-title, .entry-title a, .singular .entry-title {
color: #663333;
}

a, .entry-title a:hover, .entry-title a:focus, .entry-title a:active {
color: #003366;
}

I want to change the text color. All that is black (body, post title, etc) to be #663333, and all that is blue (hover post title, links, previous and next post, widget list, etc) to be #003366

Can you help me with that?
