    “<span style=”color: #ccc;”>ordinary</span><span style=”color: #ffa800;”>images</span>”

  • What you have (in your posting) looks alright but the code that I see in your live blog is:

    <a href="https://ordinaryimages.com/" title="Home">ordinaryimages</a><br /><span id="span"></span></div>

    Which doesn’t look OK at all.
    Should be:

    <a href="<?php bloginfo('url')" title="Home"><span style="color: #ccc;">ordinary</span><span style="color: #ffa800;">images</span></a>

    Font size can also be set in <span> tags. But you should really be setting your styles in you style.css file. The following *should* work for you:

    style.css

    .grey{color:#ffa800;font-size:1em;}
.orange{color:#ccc;font-size:1.5em;}

    header.php
    <a href="<?php bloginfo('url')" title="Home"><span class="grey">ordinary</span><span class="orange">images</span></a>

    NOTE: you will probably want to adjust the font sizes.

    It might be mentioned that you have 19 errors in you html alone. Please validate your code.

    thanks!

    got it, the use of “&” in “black&white photography” in the edit line of the sidebar.php of this theme caused (12) errors. using “and” from now on! the remaining errors were mine ” ; ” missing to close &copy. i just put the theme up and hadn’t validated it yet.

    i was only curious about adding font-size: to a span best…skip
