adjusting sidebar settings

Download a new copy of your theme to your local computer. Then using FTP, replace the style.css file in your theme’s folder.

thanks. i thought about that, but was hoping for an option that wouldn’t undo my other tweaks.

could this have happened from changing the entry-title?

the worst seems to be coming from:

body,
input,
textarea {
	color: #800080;
	font-size: 30px;
	line-height: 18px;
}

was originally:

body,
input,
textarea {
	color: #666;
	font-size: 12px;
	line-height: 18px;
}

for whatever reason you changed that, you need to find a different approach to achieve what you tried.

thank you SO much, alchymyth!

that’s what i changed to increase the tagline in the banner.

do you know where i would change that? (so that it doesn’t mess up anything else?

thanks.

either find the exsisting style for #site-description and add the font-size to it; or add this to style.css:

#site-description { font-size: 30px; }

hint:
most modern browsers have some sort of ‘inspect element’ function – probably on right-click on an element in the browser;

these are really helpful in identifying where in the stylesheets the element gets formatted.

I personaly use Firefox which has this right-click ‘inspect element’, and I also use the web developer add-on of Firefox.

thanks again. it worked like a charm!

i’m going to find out about child themes in a hurry to avoid this sorta thing from happening again.

much appreciated!
