hypfx,

Changing fonts in Simple Balance, as mostly with any other theme, is done by editing the “style.css” file in the theme’s folder.

If you scroll throught the file in your editor you’ll see fonts defined using code statements similar to this one:

font: normal normal 12px Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;

This is how fonts can be defined or changed.

Basically the above statement says:

- The font should be normal in style ( not italic )
- The font should be normal in weight ( not bold )
- The font should pe 12px in size
- The first font option is Tahoma, followed by Arial if Tahoma does not exist, Verdana next, or any other sans-serif font if the previous three are not installed on the user’s machine.

If I want to modify the default font size and style, how to modify？
Thank you。
My theme is Simple Balance 2.1。

Thomas, the full vs. excerpts has been discussed plenty of times on many blogs, but coincidently, next week I’m going to post a poll about this and will also share my views on the subject.

And, since you’re a graphic designer from a EU country, did you check my other project: http://www.creativeurope.eu/ ? Maybe even add your portfolio link?

Actually just added subscribed after reading a few of your posts. I just noticed that you aren’t using full feeds and would like to hear what you think of full feeds vs. excerpt feeds. Maybe a nice idea for post

btw: I’m a graphic designer from Denmark who just started blogging seriously and I found your site through a top 20 vector characters

Alex, thanks for the kind words.
I’ve always assumed you are a kind person, through blogsessive you prove it all.

Bytheway I want to contact you in private (yet virtually) thus I left my email address, if you wouldn’t mind adding me or something I’d be more than grateful. Have something I need to talk to you about.

Cheers and thanks.

Hi, I’m Brandon. I don’t really remember how I found the site, but I enjoy your Blogging Tips and subscribed a few weeks ago.

I’ve just recently started blogging (I’m one of the voters for the “0 – 3 months” option in your latest poll) and I’m trying to absorb as much tips and information as I can to help improve my blog.

– Oh, and what do you use for your article view counts? I may want something like that.
