Creating a new font class

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to CSS, but I am learning!

I'm trying to increase the text size of a online link.

Is there a way I can write a line in my stylesheet, and then I can surrond that one line of text on my page with a certain tag and the size will change (as set in the stylesheet).

Please help me if you can.

Please note:

1)
The text I am trying to change is a link.

2)
I only want to change one link, not all of them!

3)
I am a newb so your gonna have to write the line for me to put into my stylesheet!

4)
I am using Wordpress


Many thanks everyone!

Sam

 

Yes, that's a very basic thing to do but I'm not going to do it for you you might be a newb but if you really want to learn then you got to do it yourself. Here's were to start: http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_font.asp and http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_link.asp

 

Hi sam132, I was once in your shoes. So here is what you should do (assuming your link text, which is called anchor text reads "tutorial"), your html markup should look like this:
<a class="bigger">tutorial</a>. Then your CSS declaration should look like this:

a.bigger {
font-size: 120%;
}

That's it.

 

If you want only one you can use

<a style="font-size:150%">Your link</a>

 

you can increase the size using style="font-size:18px" or style="font-size:2em" or style="font-size:150%". Try px, em, %.

 

if you using wordpress try this one :

1. go to wp-admin
2. go to editor under themes menu on left panel.
3. click / select stylesheet (style.css) on right.
4. at bottom at this code :

a.mylinkbigger{font-size:18px !important;}

Code (markup):

then click update.
