post text coming up with at least 20 xx-small tags

    Ok, I’m having a problem with every single post that doesn’t have a more link in it. They always come up with a very, very small font size.

    I looked into the source and for some reason which I have no idea, it is being posted with tons of xx-small tags.

    Well my first reaction was to search for some xx-small tags in my css documents and templates. It turns out they don’t contain a single xx-small tag.

    Next I read through the css and the template code (which I made) and nothing that would add a bunch of <span> codes.

    Well I have no idea whats going on, I’ve added stuff to the css of style.css and index.php like

    body {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: medium;
    padding:0;
    margin:0; }

    and

    .content p { margin:5px;
    padding:5px;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: medium;
    color: black; }

    to try and make all of the text there one size, and it didnt change anything even with clearing my cache…

    So I’ve ruled out the css and the template so any ideas?

    I’m disclosing the xx-small tags from the page source code, below

    <p><span style=”font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: xx-small;”><span style=”font-size: x-small;”>Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao will give away free turkeys to the first 500 families who show up this Sunday (November 230 beginning at noon, outside the Community Center at the City of Los Angeles Lake Street Park in Historic Filipino Town (227 North Lake Street, Los Angeles, Calif. 90057.) The turkeys, a Thanksgiving gift from Manny, is his way of thanking his loyal fans who have been so supportive of him as he trains for the biggest fight of his life, against 10-time world champion ‘The Golden Boy’ Oscar De La Hoya. “I have a lot to be thankful for and I can’t think of a better way to express my appreciation to my American-based fans, who have embraced me, than by sharing my good fortune with them,” said Pacquiao.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

    I can pop up the css file too if needed

    like I said, its only with posts without a ream more link

    Also it seems the rest of the stories after the first xx-small thing just have 1 xx-small tag but thats enough to change it

    — It won’t be the CSS. It’s either the span tag was not closed in your template or you’re copying and pasting content from MSWord or another application.
    — Check out the source code of the single pages of your posts – you probably have those extra spans in ALL of your posts. The more tag strips the xx-small declarations so the excerpts on front page don’t get xx-small.
    — Open up post in Admin – Manage – Posts and click on HTML tab. Check to see whether those span tags are there and delete them.

    Thanks! I was copying the text as an example from a site in firefox which has notoriously sloppy code XD

    Thanks Again!
