I have a site that’s using the default font for my blog entries (I think it’s verdana font. Or at least the same this site is showing up in. I figured out how to changed the TITLES of my blog entries to Times New Roman using the CSS, but for some reason am having trouble doing so with the body of the text and with the comments and authors links, etc.

I tried with DIV tags, but that didn’t help. If fact, I had a lot of trouble using creating styles.

I was finally able to do it by digging into the templates for the body of the blog and wrting <font face=“times new roman” size “3”>%%body%%</font> but I have a feeling that’s the ghetto way of doing it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot.

The default setup that comes when you install pMachine has each entry contained in a <div> with the “weblog” class applied to it.  So, you should be able to use that to apply whatever styling you want.  For instance:

You’d add that in your stylesheet (“weblog.css”, by default).

Chris,

Thanks for the advice. I went to the weblog.css, which most of the time has proven good for me, and I found this:

/*—-  Weblog entry formatting. —-*/

.weblog {
padding-bottom: 12px;
border-bottom:1px dotted #999999;
}

So I added what you wrote: font-face: “Times New Roman”, serif;

Now I have this:

/*—-  Weblog entry formatting. —-*/

.weblog {
font-face: “Times New Roman”, serif;
padding-bottom: 12px;
border-bottom:1px dotted #999999;
}

Nothing changed. I’ve updated and refreshed. Any thoughts?

Thanks again,

Ryan

I took a quick look at the site and CSS and it looks like it should be working to me.  I couldn’t get any styles related to the “weblog” or “author” classes to get applied, so it looks as though something else is interferring with it.  I’m not sure what, though, as I’m afraid I don’t have time to do an in-depth investigation.
