Hey guys,
I'm looking to change the text size of my posts on my wordpress blog, but I have close to 300 posts and going through and doing it manually would take forever and a day.

Any suggestions on a plugin or something else to increase my text size in posts quickly and efficiently? Thanks.

Rob

Piece of cake, just change the text size in the theme's stylesheet - style.css. Takes less than a minute...

  Can you be a little more specific, as in, what is the exact filename I would be changing, and where in the code would I make the change? Thank you.

  <sigh> If you have to ask... then it won't be "piece of cake"
  
  In EVERY WP theme the stylesheet is called style.css
  
  Now, depending on your theme - it could be where the body style properties are defined... or where the entry/post/content classes or id's are defined... or where the p (paragraph) style properties are... and so on.
  
  Thanks

  It may be easier if you post a link. Then we could check out what class controls your post content and tell you specifically what to change in style.css .
  
  Thanks

I figured it out based on the link she provided, thanks. The only thing I missed is the bulleted list text did not change size, but no big deal.

  For that you should also look in the stylesheet where the lists are "formatted"...
  
  e.g.
  
  ul li {
  font:....
  
  or
  .content ul li {
  
  TIP: When looking at the front end > right-click anywhere in the page and select "Show source..."
  
  In the source code shown find the element you want to modify:
  <div class="whatever">
  <ul class="something">
  <li> list item is here with wrong font size</li>
  
  - then find the .whatever and .something classes in the stylesheet to modify them
  
  Thanks
