font size in one of my entries. Options

[le cait]

in my latest entry, i want some of the font to be size 4 with the rest of it size 1. i know how to do this, usually [<font size=4>text</font> blah blah] but this time it's being a spaz.

when i went to submit my entry, it showed up as it all being size 1. i figured it was because i had this script to make all of my font size 1 georgia, so i took it out and redid the entry, still using the <font size=4> thing.

it's still not working and i dont know what to do. :/
help.

Can we have a link to your xanga and post any code you have in your header html?

"everything's free. that's a secret." is what i want to be big.


my custom header:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css">table.left th {<br />font: BOLD 7pt georgia;<br />text-transform: lowercase;<br />color: #ff1493;<br />Border: 0px solid #FFFFFF;<br />}<br /></style><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><div align=right><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br /><style type=text/css>table.navigation{display:none}</style><style type='text/css'>table.footer{display: none;}</style><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><script type='text/javascript'><br />document.title = ('smack.');<br /></script><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css"><br />div.blogheader, .caption {<br />text-align: right;<br />}<br /></style><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css">div.blogheader, .caption {<br />/* edits the dates */<br /> font-family:times new roman;<br /> text-transform:lowercase;<br /> font-size:30pt;<br /> line-height:20pt;<br /> font-weight:bold;<br /> color:#ff1493;<br /> letter-spacing:-3pt;<br /> background-color: #transparent;<br /> text-align: center;<br /> }</style><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

well, your code looks fine to me. except for the part where you have two codes for the date.. but that shouldn't be affecting the entry in any way. =l

Do you have a bold code that changes the color? if so, you maybe put a certain size on there for bold, seeing that the font seems to be... well, bold. o.o otherwise, i can't think of anything wrong than you accidently misspell something in your 'edit html' mode thing..

[Kenado]

Hmmm what exactly did you do when you hit edit html this
<b>blah blah blah</b>? because what Toby said is true it looks bold instead of the font being bigger.

Yeah, I do have that code. it looks like,

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css"><br />.blogbody b, .standard b, p b, strong {<br />/* edits bolded text in your entry */<br /> font-weight: bold;<br /> color: #ff1493;<br /> }<br /></style><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

..it doesn't have anything to do with the size.
I've checked to see if I spelled anything wrong, and I'm like 99% sure I didn't.

In Edit HTML, the thing goes like <FONT size=4><STRONG>"everything is free. that's a secret.</STRONG></FONT>
So, yes, it is bold [which is what I want]. But I also want it to be bigger.

[lovescream]

well, that's just uber odd.

hmm.. this is weird. o.O

Maybe.. maybe you should just try to put
<b><font size="4">everything is free. that's a secret.</font></b> instead.. =l

[Kenado]

well for the code the bold I guess you just add a font size so you won't have to keep on writing the font size thing

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<style type="text/css">
.blogbody b, .standard b, p b, strong {
/* edits bolded text in your entry */
font-size: 14pt;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ff1493;
}
</style>
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Something like that, oh yeah and strong and bold are the same thing I think that's why they're arent changing I don't know.

Eeee, thank you, that worked.
I dunno why though; the bold has nothing to do with the size.. but I'm not complaining.

That wouldn't work. I mean, it would work for someone who wants all their bold to be big, but I don't want that. Thanks for trying to help, though.
