Any way to set a default font for your posts? I have to reset it each time I make a new entry. |

You can edit the style template, which is the CSS stylesheet. In a previous conversation, we talked about how to modify the the style template to center your blog. This time, we are going to add some more CSS style information to modify the article content.
Try adding this to your style template:
Code: | .articleBody {
font: 16px 'Trebuchet MS',Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;
} |
Now the body part of all of your articles will be in 16 point Trebuchet MS, for example. If your reader's computer does not have the Trebuchet MS font, Arial will be displayed instead, and so on down the line.
Of course this will only work if your article body does not already specify a font. So if you already put in FONT tag using the Rich Text Editor for example, changing the default font via the style template will not affect the text of that particular article. |

If I'm using the Rich text Editor, would 16 point Trebuchet MS then be the default font of all my new posts, that is if I don't select a font when entering a new post?
I'd like the font and size to be the same as the standard font and size of blogware when using the Rich text Editor.
Do you happen to know what that is?
Thanks,

Two facts that may help answer your questions:
1) The Rich Text Editor does not know about your default font, so when creating posts in the RTE you will not see the article with the same font as it will be seen on the blog. Yes, we know this is not perfect. I would suggest that if you wish to make posts which can globally modified using CSS stylesheets that you do not modify the font from within the RTE or you do not use the RTE.
2) Each Color Scheme has its own default font. There is not one default font for all templates, each one is different. |
