Editing font size of header and blog titles using Blaskan theme

    I’m using the Blaskan theme for my student website. However, my header and blog titles are much too large. How do I edit them?

    FYI, I already looked under the Support topic called Designing Headers (I think that was the name). In it they say to edit the font size under #header. However I didn’t see the same thing in my code.

    Here’s my website if you’d like to see what I mean: https://www.curtisnaborspr.com/

    Thanks,
    Curtis

  • Above you used this to alter your title:

    .sans-serif #site-name {
    font-family: "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    letter-spacing: -3px;
}

    Normally, the simple way would be to add to the above:
    ????font-variant: small-caps;
    and lower-case letters would be converted to small caps. There are a couple other ways as well, but I see that you’re now using a problematic font.

    If you use a specialty font, you need to provide the font to the site visitor’s browser or it will fall back to the default font – in this case ‘sans serif’. (I see only a basic sans serif when I view your site title in my browser.) Also, the font has to contain small-cap glyphs which, if I found the right ‘Rosemary Roman’ online, your choice doesn’t seem to have.

    To simplify this for you, I would recommend your using one of the plugins available that allow you to easily use Google fonts in your theme. Then you can select one of their many available fonts, and the plugin will automatically pull in what is needed for your site visitors. I hope that makes sense.

    So, forgetting the lower case caps issue for now, I also noticed that the font reverted back to default when viewing my website from my phone. are you saying that I can’t use the Rosemary font for all to view?

    If I have to end up using Google Fonts, can you recommend a plug-in?

    Whether you can or not depends on whether it’s available (and you then provide it) as a web font or not. If your visitors don’t have it installed already, you’ll have to make your page find and load it for them. That’s why I recommended something like a plugin to provide a Google font to your visitors. Super easy, and there are tons of Google fonts to choose from. I don’t recommend any particular one, but suggest that you use the link to browse for a popular and highly rated one. Good luck!
