Two exact sites but font is different

Are you using relative font sizes lime em’s? See if your body tag has a font size declared as a percentage. If so, change the percentage on your live site.

that was supposed to say “like em’s”

This is what is in my style sheet

font: normal 12px/18px "Georgia", Georgia;

hi

OK, that’s not the problem. What you have supplied is not enough to be able to answer your question. So it will come down to tweaking the font size once it is on the server.

Does it make any difference if both sites are on the same server?

My sites are:

https://abcbabyland.com/blog/
https://testblog.abcbabyland.com

I want the font to be the same size as the testblog site.

Thanks

I looked at both of those sites in Firefox3 and Internet Explorer 7 and all the fonts look the same size to my eyes. What specifically are you seeing with different font sizes, so I know what to look for. (I can make you a screenshot if it will help.)

By the way, in Internet Explorer 7, your left column main content does not start until the right column sidebar has finished displaying. In other words, the left column is blank while viewing the sidebar – it starts displaying in the left column after the sidebar has finished displaying – it is underneath the sidebar, not next to it. This usually requires some IE-specific tweaks to correct, to make the columns slighly narrower, or fonts slightly smaller, in IE.

That’s weird, it’s all fonts, the menus, posts, even the writing on my image for the newsletter appears smaller.

Perhaps if you saw the same, then maybe it’s just my PC and I needn’t worry too much.

How do I rectify the IE problem with loading the left hand side?

Both look exactly the same to me too.

How do I rectify the IE problem with loading the left hand side?

start by cleaning up the HTML tag mis-matches show on the page validator – its bad HTML causing the issue:

Thanks again stvwlf

I’m glad there is someone around that knows all the tools of the trade and know-how.

I’ll take a look at the validator and correct what I can.

I had a quick look and some of it was to do with the script for my RSS subscription ie capital letter rather than a small letter, so I think it diagnosed it as something else.

Thanks
Wendy

I’ve now cleaned up my html, do you mind having a look to see if the left hand side is still loading after the sidebar loads.

Hi

No, still below the sidebar. Make this one change, should fix it. style.css (line 451)

#content {
margin:10px auto 0;
width:950px;
}

change width to 645px

Hi,

It didn’t like that.

I got a blue column then my content appeared after the bottom of the sidebar.

width:645px;

That’s what I changed it to and it messed up the page layout.
