the_content font style

You’ll want to start by editing the style.css file in your current theme, which is located in /wp-content/themes/[your theme’s name]/

To alter the text overall, you might add something like this, where “color” is the text’s color and “font-family” is a list of fonts your want people’s browsers to use (if they don’t have the first, it goes to the second and so on):

body {
color: blue;
font-family: trebuchet ms, verdana, lucida, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

filosofo – i think i miscommunicated what i want to do – i am using <!–more–> to break the post and i want to customize the way it looks in the post; i use the “white as milk” theme and i don’t like the way the tag is shown;

the theme uses the_content so i went to the index file and changed the text but now i want to change the color, and maybe the font; what you are telling me above – isn’t that for the body of the post? and if so won’t it alter the whole thing rather than just the way <!–more–> looks?

I see what you mean. Here’s what I did on my site. I added the following to my theme’s functions.php file:

function add_more_class($content) {
return preg_replace('/\#more-(\d+).*"/',"#more-$1\" class=\"more-tag\"",$content);
}
add_filter('the_content','add_more_class');

That inserts the class “more-tag” into the more tag’s link:

<a href="..." class="more-tag"> . . .

Then you can style the link like so:

a.more-tag {
. . .
}

great! i’ll try that – how about a link to your site for a visual? if OK, of course
