Blog Tip: How to Change Your Font Color or Size

Ever notice how some people have blogs and in the middle of their posts, their font changes size... sometimes getting big, getting bigger, getting outright huge... then shrinking back down again? If you want to change your font size it's as simple as adding a little code in front of the words you'd like to change.

For most blogs, font size 3 is standard. Adding a font size larger than 3 increases the size of the font. And any font number lower than 3 decreases the size of the font.

<font size="4"> Type what you want in size 4, then close with more code. </font>

For even bigger, use type size 5:

<font size="5"> This would appear in the largest size. Always close the code with </font>

Now, how about color? First, you need a good hexidecimal color chart. I use this one. For convenience I just saved it in my bookmarks. Next, you need to enter the color code for whatever color you'd like your font to appear.

<font color="#FF0066 "> This makes your font bright pink. </font>

<font color="#0000FF"> This makes your font bright blue. </font>

Want to get really tricky? You can change both font and color by adding two codes and closing it twice.

<font color="#660000"><font size="5"> ...by adding two codes. </font> </font>

Or by combining code into a single, multi-command string of code, like this:

<font color="#66000" size="4">...and manipulate both color and font.</font>
