Changing font

    Hi, I hope you can help me. I have the girl in green theme and I'd like to make the font size bigger - is this possible? And if so, how do I do this? I think its a little hard to read.

    Also, how can I change the date at the top of my posts so that it includes the day, as well as the rest of the date?

    Thanks,
    Kimona1

    You can't change the date part in the theme itself as the designer did not provide it and you cannot edit your template. I'm afraid you will simply have to type it in each post yourself or switch to another theme.

    I put the < strong > tags in everything I type so I can see the text better.

    otherwise press ctrl and roll your mouse roller upwards, it enlarges the font in your browser.

    Thanks for your answers. nosysnoop - how you un-strong the text afterwards? Is it like ?

    This is what or bold text looks like. This is how it's done <strong> at the beginning (opening tag) and </strong> (closing) at the end. There is no such thing as automatic removal of bold lettering so you would have to remove it yourself.
    Here's an html chart that may be helpful.
    Your original question was how to increase the font size and not how to emphasize text. Strong is used for emphasis and it's only slightly larger so I think you should look at the link to the thread from the FAQs box I gave you above.

    I leave the font size alone and leave it to the visitors to change this on their own browsers. But I make it bold so not only I can see it better but so that my visitors can see it better if they have poor vision like me.
