Hello

I have been asked to look after a site in WordPress which I know little about.

If I go to the Dashboard and select Appearances and THEMES, I can see the home page of the site I am looking after. But how would I change the font, font-size, etc.

I can't see any CSS files?

Thanks!WordPress USES templates to set parameters.  It is a FORM of high-level programming. You don mot deal with the low-level details.
programming.

You will need to have an area where  you can make adjustments w2ithout trashing the main site. One way is to have a local implementation of  WordPress s on your own computer. One I like is called 'Instant WordPress' and is free for personal USE.

To understand WordPress better, you need to look the WordPress Codex.
http://codex.wordpress.org/
You can search the Codex to find out how to do some adjustments to the template you are now using.

Does this help any?

EDIT: The font type size is fixed unless you install the font plug-in. Or else create your own template. Myself, I like to use templates off the shelf and make minor changes using plug-ins.


Hello Geek

Many thanks for your most informative reply.

I have downloaded and installed Instant WordPress and will experiment with it.

I have also downloaded a font plug in and already increased the font size.

Thanks also for the link!

Hello Geek-9pm

Thanks for the link.

I wasn't sure how to replace images in the templates with my own images.

I see (screenshot) there are other, related tutorials, too.

Thanks again!
