Fonts: Tip for changing the size and font style

I just wanted to share this tip because I had trouble with this and I wanted to give people an easy fix for fonts and sizes. I added the Plugin "WP Edit"

Here's how I did it in case you need help:

Just go to "Plugins" and then "Add New" at the top.
Then "Search Plugins" at the top right.
Type in "WP Edit" and find the Plugin
Click on "Install Now". (The Plugin will install itself)
Activate "WP Edit" in the Plugins menu.
Click on the menu item at the very top of the page: "WP Edit"
Open that up and it will show you "Button Rows" and "Button Container".
Drag the buttons you want from the "Button Container" area to the "Button Rows" area. I chose the "Font Family" and "Font Sizes" Buttons". There are many other things you can add such as "Background Color" and "Emoticons".
Add whatever buttons you like and then click "Save"
Open up a post and then make sure you have the "Toolbar Toggle" button activated to display the bottom row of buttons. (It looks like a keyboard)

And there you are! The list of fonts is a bit limited, and I'm not sure if that's because it tries to match up with the fonts on the computer, but at least there are a few options and you can now re-size your text. I'm sure if you play around with this plugin, you will find more cool stuff to do with it.

Cheers! :)
