Old age eyes

Help! While attempting to see if I could increase the text size on my computer so Dad could see the blog easier, I realized I was almost as bad as he is! I currently have it set to "Largest" in the main "View" pull-down menue at the top and still can't really read this without my "cheaters". My question is: Why do some of the posts show up significantly larger and in bold print when I change the text size and some don't? Does this have anything to do with the TT button next to the font pull-down menu in the blog itself that the poster originally used? If so, can everyone try to use at least the "medium" font size?

Thanks.

Now you understand why I have a 22 inch monitor. My last post was done in Arial font normal size font. Perhaps I should use large size. I'd never thought to change it before.

OK Elaine I went back and changed it to Large Arial Tru type font. It does seem to help those tired eyes.

Sorry, Elaine; I noticed my post was one of the smaller ones. It's my conservative nature.....I have to save space you know. The Rickert guys are conservative with words too. Martha, George's wife, says that we must think we have an allotted amount of words to use in life so we tend to not talk much to be sure we don't run out.

I'll try to do bigger.

Ray, you can do what I did and edit the post and change the font size. Look for the pencil near the comments button. We can edit our own post, but not others.

After signing in you should be directed to the "Dashboard" page. On the Dashboard page there are a couple of overlooked tools,they are called "Manage:Posts,ettings". Go to Manage posts page, scroll down until you find your, click edit. Hope this helps.

Once you get into the "edit" section as posted by Dale, it appears you have highlight the text you want to change, (font size, color, etc.

Not sure how to control the size of things typed in the comment window.
