Does anyone know how to change the font size in WordPress?
What you can do is go to a word program like microsoft office, open office and type out what you want there, copy and paste on to your page, it will only come out in times new romans though, it you want another font design OI don't know how to do that yet myself.
It's theme dependent, some of the better ones have controls in Appearance > Themes > Options. If not, then you'll need to copy some CSS from style.css to custom.css in Appearance > Editor and make your mods. there. However, before you start tweaking the code of your site, do make sure you've a full backup in case anything goes wrong. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-backup-entire-wordpress-blog-have-it-auto-sent-to-a-free-dropbox-account Rich. x
Seems I've picked a theme where I can't change font size so will have to rely on code......which scares me lol. Thank you for the link.
If you need a primer for HTML and CSS then hop over to http://www.apinapress.com/ and sign up for Dean's (@apina) Free eBook HTML & CSS for Beginners. He actually wrote it for me due to my constant questions! Rich. x
also look at http://www.w3schools.com/ for html/css..... i would suggest to anyone who has no code skills to learn it. Scary at first but it will help a lot just getting some basics in.

Does anyone know how to change the font size in WordPress?
Hi Fynyx, I just got the same problem and the solutions is very simple. Install a new plugin called Fonts to wordpress. Then go to ur page or post, highlight the words u want to change the font and click at the font type and size. I reply this late because I just joined WA about a month ago.

Is anyone else having problems with jaaxy today? I just signed in and no matter what I type in I am being told ooops there is a problem.
Same problems for me today with Jaaxy. Searches taking over three minutes each time and not producing any results. Just the messages telling me to wait.
I can confirm that Jaaxy is up and running. Perhaps this was a glitch that happened only on your end. I'll certainly investigate because there should never be an instance where Jaaxy doesn't load keywords. Thanks for reporting.

Does anyone know if there are any benefits to having a hypenated domain name? for example would catsonskates.com be better or worse than cats-on-skates.com or does it even make a d
According to some research I read after the Penguin update those with Zero dashes gained on everyone else by 2%. Those with one did only a little better than average and after that domains with more than one dash did poorer by 1 %. So I agree dashes are not significant in the overall big picture.
This study I believe was done on a specific set of domains (thousands) the owner of which is continuously keeping statistics on members website performance to help them improve and also bounce back from Google's updates.
I won't go into all the explanations here but the "perfect" domain name:
1) contains your site concept keyword (2 words maximum)
2) contains a catchy marketing word
3) has zero dashes
4) is short - 10 characters or less
This is very hard to do these days because so many domain names are already taken but with some ingenuity we can come close. We will usually have to sacrifice one of the above so adding one dash doesn't seem like a bad thing - like @Rich and Mi2336 mentioned.
The domain name should also be attractive to humans - that is very important too.
Cheers
P.S. Should mention this advice is for long term authority sites.
Yeah, that is more or less what Google is looking for and is a good explanation.
My rule of thumb is a domain should be:
-.com or .org
-no hyphens
That is it. If I am going for a long term, brandable authority site, I don't even care about keywords in the domain. Brand is more important and a keyword rich domain can tie me down.
If it is a mini site you are going after, a keyword rich, exact match domain may be a better approach in which case you don't want hyphens either.
Thanks Kyle. It took me a while to understand that there are two different approaches to creating domains depending on the type of site being built. I followed your advice about building a brandable authority site so I could have flexibility with writing content. Also I didn't want to spend ages choosing a single domain name (used to be one of my weaknesses). Cheers :)
@Fynyx: I don't know if you use Jaaxy or not, but if you do, then you have a vital tool geared toward success! I am quite certain that I would not have ranked EVEN in the top 1000 without it!
I've never seen or heard a satisfactory explanation or technical justification as to why it's a *bad* thing. I think historically people have just always been a bit of snobbish about hyphenation. There are certainly some hugely successful brands that do hyphenate their urls, ie. http://www.net-a-porter.com/ Rich. x
Before I chose my most recent domain I questioned the same thing as Fynyx. After a little bit of research, I determined that if there are any disadvantages, inherent in hyphenated domains, they are marginal.
I JUST made a blog post about my domain being indexed by Google on the third page in less than 24 hours for my keyword! The domain I referred to is a hyphenated domain if that is any help! ;-)
Thank you, that makes me feel better about using hyphens (just realised I was spelling it wrong above).
