Personalising Blogs with Fonts of your choice

The first thing that comes to a blogger’s mind when he is setting up the visual space of this blog is to give his own personal style to the look of the blog.This is much before he even thinks about posting.

Fair amount of personalisation can be done without getting involved in too many technical stuff … simply put – by changing the font style , color , font size etc etc

A more generalised way to do this will be to locate this your TEMPLATE – FONTS AND COLORS

  1. Scroll down the list
  2. Slect the item whose font (type & color) you wish to modify..
  3. Slect the fontype listed and the color prefered
  4. Save and repeat the process for another one from the list

If the list of fonts provided by the bloger does not satisfy you,, and you desperately wish that blogger has provided more choice in font names.. then acomplising this is not great feat

However, To do this you need to identify certains areas in your template taht represent the following
DONOT FORGET TO SAVE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR TEMPLATE

  1. Blog title
  2. Blog description
  3. Post Title
  4. Post body
  5. Post footer
  6. Comment author
  7. Comment body
  8. Comment Footer
To these sections in your Templates (Style sheets) you may add any / all of the following
( FONT NAME ) font-family:Monotype Corsiva;
( FONT SIZE ) font-size:20px;
(FONT COLOR ) color:green;

If you are not sure of what font names to give.. Open a word document – change the font of the texts – this will help you visualise and experiment with different font styles. Then you may copy paste the font name . Save and see the result

If you feel that this post has helped you in anyway.. do leave a note
Your appreciation is my motivation

  1. That was a very useful post Deepa, thanks! Is it possible to have a different color for each letter in a post title?

  2. Raju:
    You are welcome
    At the moment i could only think of…. enclosing each letter within <font color=”colorname”> __ </font>
    Eg:
    <font color=”RED”>H</font>
    <font color=”BLUE”>E</font>
    <font color=”GREEN”>L</font>
    <font color=”MAROON”>L</font>
    <font color=”YELLOW”>O</font>
