I need help with my word press blog. Last week I tried this and I crashed my website and a member helped me but still the correct plugin evades me. I need a plugin that will let me change the text that shows on the sidebar widgets. I want to make the text larger as needed. Can anybody help?
Thanks

    I don't know of any plugin that will do this, but it can easily be done with HTML or CSS. If you show me exactly what you want to do, I can help you with the code and show you how to update it on your own.

        I don't have enough posts to send a PM, either, and I don't want to post my contact info in a public forum, so let's see if we can do this here instead. It's my understanding that you have text in your sidebar that you want to be able to change easily, particularly the size. One way to do this is to enter the HTML directly into the Text widget in your WP admin panel. The other way to do it is to find out what <div> contains the text (or create a <div> if it doesn't exist), and edit the .css file. The former method is the easiest, so try that first. Here's an example...

        If you want to change the size of the text, simply edit the font-size property in the following sample code:

        Code:
        <div id="mysidebartext" style="font-size: 12px">
sidebar text goes here
</div>
        Add the above code (modified according to your needs) into your Text widget in WP. Let me know how it works out.

          No luck I put the code in the box and put the text in where you said did saves and no luck when I changed it. Unless I did something wrong?

            Okay, please send an email to warriorhelp {at} yahoo.com with you blog URL, and I'll take a look at the source code. This will give me a better idea of what needs to be done. Thanks.
