   Can somebody help an old fool, please.
   I'm trying to use html coding to change some fonts on my blog, to make them more attractive. I can't seem to find the code to commence a post where I want a particular font for the entire post. The results that I get are that the font returns to 'normal' after the first paragraph.
   I appreciate that 'p' is for para, but what on earth will cover the entire post - as in my latest post on http://dickiehaha.wordpress.com

   The blog I need help with is dickiehaha.wordpress.com.

   Type all the body text into the editor. When you have it all ready to go, switch to the HTML editor and make a blank line at the very top and put this in (changing of course helvetica to your chosen font family).

   <div style="font-family:helvetica;">

   Then go to the very end of the post in the HTML editor and put this at the end

   </div>

   One note though: Whatever font you choose has to be something that everyone's computer is going to have installed on it since the browser is going to pull from the computer's font selection. If the computer does not have the font you are using then the browser is going to substitute whatever it feels is close (which is typically either serif or sans-serif).
