    Quick Wordpress Help (Please!)

    I only use Wordpress a little and so far, haven't done anything fancy. But today I wanted to create a larger font for a link and couldn't figure it out.

    For example, I add something like the following (using the HTML pop-up window from the Write Post page):

    Code:
    <A HREF="" STYLE="font-size: 14pt;">link here</A>
    When I click the Update button the STYLE="font-size: 14pt;" portion has been removed.

    If I do the following:

    Code:
    <A HREF=""><FONT SIZE="4">link here</A>
    After the update, the SIZE="4" is dropped leaving an empty <FONT> tag.

    To make matters worse, in the main editing window (Write Post), the toolbar doesn't have an option for font size. Looked under Options and didn't see anything helpful ...

    So how can I use CSS styles within my posts without WordPress deleting?
    Thanks

      The font size is controlled by your theme. You need to go into your main template and find the code line that refers to links then change the size there.

          Options->Writing->Formatting: uncheck 'Users should use the visual rich editor by default'

          Now go back to your entry and try again, I'm 95% sure that that'll fix the problem. Every time I tried to post a link (HTML code) it strips a TAG or two.And for the record Wordpress sucks

              Thanks for the help, I actually just decided to add to the template's stylesheet specific items for odd-size links, etc. and tweak some of the existing ones.

              I'm starting to believe ... so far, I'm NOT a big fan of WordPress!

                  wordpress doesn't suck at all. you just need to know wtf you're doing.

                  The only thing I don't like about 2.0 is that visual risch text editor. definately turn that shit off.

                  edit: don't use a div called "more" in your post. i did it and the damn thing got all fucked up.
