Hi,

Can you give me the specific instructions on how to edit the css of my theme (9ths current) as i want to enlarge the font sizes for the titles and subtitles of my wordpress posts.
Currently, i insert codes on the post pages directly to achieve these and i am finding out that this is not SEO friendly.

I also want to change the colors for these titles and subtitles.

Thank you.

    Changing the size of the font will not do anything for SEO.
    Using the proper tags to be semantically correct would help the SEO.

    Anyway, to point you out in the CSS I would need to see the site and a post with what you want changed so I could tell you the correct CSS to use.

      Thank you phpbbxpert for your post.

      The site i am referring to is my blog @ Profitable Business Ideas

      The theme i am running is 9ths Current 1.3 by 9th sphere

      I want to be able to enlarge each blog post title and sub-titles as well as color same without resorting to inserting codes on each blog post to achieve this, as i am currently doing.

      I am not saying changing the font size will do anything for SEO. Rather, i am saying the approach i am currently using is anti-SEO as i discovered when i ran my blog posts through a software as well as from my practical experience when compared to before i started inserting these codes directly on each blog post.

    The post title looks like it is styled in the template via a span tag and inline CSS (which can not be over written, it has the highest priority in the browser).

    If it is in the template, which it should be, you can edit the template, most likely the index.php and single.php depending on how old or new this theme is. You may want to do the others so they match also.

    <span style="font-family: tk-tenby-eight; color: rgb(255, 0, 51); font-size: x-large;">
    That is what is wrapping the title on your posts in the home page and single posts.

    The other content in a WP post itself is the same.
    The only way to change it in a post would be to remove them because you can not over write inline style which is what style="" is.


    Something else to look into is the site load, it is very heavy.
    It takes 40 seconds to fully load on my connection and has over 300 http requests which is one of the biggest reasons why it loads so slow. And it is almost 2megs loading.

      That is the code i mentioned i inserted in each post title to achieve the font size and color i want.

      If i remove it, will the CSS now be alterable to achieve the same effect?

      I just have no more than about 20 wordpress plugins installed and activated and wonder what could give rise to these http requests and slow loading speed.

      Could it be the various images i always insert in each blog post and link back to various sites?

        Yes, In the <h2> tag where the anchor and function the_title() are
        change the opening <h2> tag to
        <h2 class="post-title">

        Now in your CSS file at the end add

        h2.post-title {
        font-family: tk-tenby-eight;
        color: rgb(255, 0, 51);
        font-size: x-large;
        }

        If that alone does not work then we need to add a parent to it

        .entry h2.post-title {
        font-family: tk-tenby-eight;
        color: rgb(255, 0, 51);
        font-size: x-large;
        }

        The entry class is the parent div wrapper around the post.

        Well it all contributes.That many plug-ins adds up fast. Especially all of the social plug-ins. They each have their own CSS, js, and image files being loaded plus some connect to other sites.

        The post images and ads can not really be helped.
        The ads can be helped a little if they are using a static JavaScript file.
        Then it can be compressed and added to one local file.

        Some of the theme images can be added to a sprite also.
        This all takes quite a bit of work, coding experience and is why sites end up like this or the owners just don't know (like in your case). But there is plenty of information out there if you want to work on getting those numbers better.

        Personally I would.

        There is a plug-in out there that is suppose to compile most of this stuff to help HTTP requests.
        I have never used it, but if I think of it I will note it in this thread for you.

    Thanks so much for your time phpbbxpert.

    Since i am thinking of changing to a new theme, probably i'll just wait, since all the changes i am making to the CSS style sheet seems to have no effect. Seems it is locked somehow.
