1) Is there a way to customize how the tag cloud looks in Button 2?

As it is now, tags are written in capital letters, are the same size, and highlighted.

What I’d wish to have instead is a tag cloud where the tags
– appear as I write/edit them (lowercase, with the first letter capitalized only);
– are different size, depending on the frequency I’ve used them;
– have no highlighting but are plain color;
– are a specific color (orange).

I’ve found no way to do this but I also feel this is an easy adjustment, if you’d only know where to look and what to edit.

2) I’d also wish to change the links color, from red to orange: but I can’t find a way to do this.
As for links, I mean every clickable text: Categories, the “Continue reading” part, hyperlinks in the articles and so on.

Could you help me?

I’d wish to have it display just a short excerpt (the first few lines) of a post and then let you “continue reading” by clicking a link.

The last post of this closed thread implies there should be an option to activate this feature but I can’t seem to find it: all I see by clicking Appearance/Customize/Homepage Settings (where I think such an option should be located) is to either display my latest posts or a static page on the homepage.

Any help?

The first obstacle I’ve met is the default font used for the post titles: I’m using Button 2 (with WP Google Fonts plugin installed) and I’ve seen it defaults the post titles to italic.
But I’d wish they would use the normal font, not italic.

No piece of advice I’ve found in other threads has been helpful so I decided to ask your help: how can I turn the font of my titles to normal?

As a practical example, if you follow the link to my site (I’ve only just started working on it, so forgive the lack of contents), I’d wish to use the normal font both in the posts’ title and the menus on the right.

And is there a way to change the color of the menu links from red to black, so that it’s the same color as the other texts?
