Headers, part II
Tonight I learned that the font size of the header categories diminish in size. Thus, a <h1> will inherently be a bigger font size than <h2>, etc. Tonight I had my recipe title inserted in my text, but it was also the title of my post. I first tried to use the <h2> tag for the recipe title, but the font size was exactly the same as the title of my post. Once I changed the recipe title to <h3>, the problem was solved. I do not know why that concept somehow escaped me in my HTML studies, but even if you already know this elementary rule, it never hurts to have these reminders.
I am also playing with the size of my images in the body of the posts. Today’s image was a bit bigger than the images in the Farmers’ Market post. I am not satisfied with the image size yet, nor the cropping job by yours truly, but since the design of my blog will (hopefully) change soon, image size will be an evolving challenge.

That’s a dangerous thing to learn, as tags should not be used to get your text to the desired size, but should be used to mark up your page by semantic relavance. Use CSS to make the correct tag look how you want.
Just sayin’…

[…] Today I received a comment on my post entitled Headers, part II from Ryan Brill that encouraged me to look further into my CSS files in my WordPress software. I have looked at these files before, but frankly, I am a little intimidated to start working on them until I have sketched out a rudimentary blog design. Today, however, I clicked confidently into my CSS file and looked for something simple that I could change. I decided on my blog font. I started changing the font in the file and then refreshing my blog to see how it looked. If you went to my blog today, you could have caught it in a myriad of fonts including Frutiger, Futura, Century Gothic, Berkeley, etc. I even almost changed it to DIN in order to get a reaction from my resident expert.
