Hi, i just started using wordpress for a website and in "posts" i write a new article but the only choices i have are bold, italic , underline, I would like to know how i can make certain words (not the whole post) with bigger letters, and different colors.

and if it's possible, can you tell me the html i would have to write and where in the sentence?


thanks so much

    Make sure you're upgraded to the latest version 2.7.1

    When you're editing your posts click on the "kitchen sink" icon on the far right.. it gives you a drop down with h1,h2 tags and more.

    Was doing camtasia's anyways... here's a video demo

    You could also go into the HTML view and use the 'div style' commands - e.g. <div style="font-size: 12pt; color: red;">text you want to change</div>

    Cheers,

    <span style="font-size: xx-small">xx Smal</span>
    <span style="font-size: x-small">x Small</span>
    <span style="font-size: small">Small</span>
    <span style="font-size: medium">Medium</span>
    <span style="font-size: large">Large</span>
    <span style="font-size: x-large">x Large</span>
    <span style="font-size: xx-large">xx Large</span>

    To add color just do this

    <span style="font-size: xx-large; color: #008000;">xx Large Green</span>

    Just color
    <span style="color: #008000;">xx Large Green</span>

    Advanced tip: Try to style your fonts in EM as opposed to px or pt in you css.

      If you want to change the post title, you have to go into the stylesheet, it should be pretty easy to find in there..

      Just change the css.. you can't do it on a per post basis without some fancy coding as far as I know..
