Using Different Fonts

This is so cool!  What do you think? I think I could get used to this. I really like this font but it is tricky to do. My blog doesn’t allow me to select my font.  But I know what to do! First I need to write my text in a word document with the font of my choice. Then I Select File à Web Page Preview à View à Source.  The HTML code is visible. Copy the entire code and then paste the code in your post selecting edit HTML.  Save!

FYI   The font you choose should be a font that most people will have on their computers otherwise the font will default to a different font. This is written with the comic sans font.

Posts vs Pages

What are Pages?

Pages are a way to add content to your weblog without creating a post, like pages in a non-blog website. For example, you could create a Page to be an "about" page for the specific weblog, "about" pages for Guest Authors, a contact page, etc.

Pages will retain the layout and design that you've specified for the weblog, including sidebar content. Pages will not appear in your weblog's feed.

Creating a New Page

To create a new Page, go to the Weblogs tab and click on the "More Actions..." button next to your weblog. Select the "Begin a new page" option from the menu. Or you can click the "New Page" link from the Compose area.
