is there a particular reason why my current blog does not have one, is that a bad thing?? and will it change anything by creating one?? again, not trying to be stupid, just thorough.

yeah, those are the directions I have been following…so I just take a blank notepad file and save it named .htaccess ?? Not trying to be stupid, just want to make sure I do it right the first time…thanks !!

which one do I manually create, how do I create it and do I put anything in it or leave it blank?

I want to style the recent posts, recent comments, archives like this blog has them https://www.ino.com/blog/

the site that I am working on is musicofthemarket.com

I have tried and tried to find the answer here, but every time I think I have found the right answer, it doesn’t work

under appearance click on “Techozoic Settings”, there are loads of options in there

this theme comes with a built in child theme under appearance you will see an option “Techozoic Settings”, click on that and then click on the tab labed “CSS”, you put your over ride css code in there and yes it works because that is what I am using.

I have even tried stating the font size in the html, still no joy !!

this is what I have there now

body {
font-size: 1.0em;
line-height: 1.0em;
}

code{
font: 12px arial, sans-serif;
}

it’s still not working (except the font face) ARGH !!!!!!!

BTW I want to say thank you very much for all the help you have given me !!

this is what is in the themes body code

body{
background:#A0B3C2 url() repeat top right;
color:#333;
font-family:”Lucida Sans Unicode” , “Lucida Grande”, Sans-Serif;
font-size:12px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
line-height: 1.5em;
}

this is what I have for the other site

body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0; /* This removes the border around the viewport in old versions of IE */
width:100%;
background-color:#ffffff;
font-size:90%;

}

okay, got it to change the font, but it will NOT change the size no matter what I do…I know my code is right, is there anything else in there you could see that might be controlling the size?

right now I have this,
code{
font: 1.2em arial, sans-serif;
}

which is the same code I used to style the paragraphs on this page
https://tradingbetweenthelines.com/

.p1 {
font: 1.2em arial, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
}

I would never get that complicated, I prefer to write my code clean and simple.

I didn’t put that there, that is the authors code, how can I override it?

tried that, both ways

.singlepost {
font-size: 12px;
font-face: Arial;
}

and

.singlepost entry {
font-size: 12px;
font-face: Arial;
}

neither worked dang it !!

here is the URL

ran the page through the validator, all the warnings showing are either wrong (saying I didn’t close a tag when I did, I double check every single one again) or it’s issues with the themes author’s code, when I am not touching.
