    I just put up a new theme for my WP blog on iBestToys.com and I want the default text color to be a little lighter and bigger. I found the style.css but can't find the right lines to change, here is the code:

    /*

    Which text do you want to change??
    To change the font of your post change the following
    p {
    margin: 0 0 5px 0;
    padding: 0;
    font-size: 14px /*change to suit your choice*/
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #808080;
    background: inherit;
    }

    The font I need to change is for the 'pages' not the 'posts' (maybe they are the same)?

    Mmmmm, I changed the color and it works but I don't see a font size in the css already?

    What you wrote:

    p {
    margin: 0 0 5px 0;
    padding: 0;
    font-size: 14px /*change to suit your choice*/
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #808080;
    background: inherit;

    what I see:

    p {
    margin: 0 0 5px 0;
    padding: 0;
    color: #dddddd;
    background: inherit;
    }

    Ya I added it. You have to add it to change the size. If you want to change the fonts of the page only . there must be a "page.php" in your theme. Then only you can edit in the css. but considering your css I think there no extra file meant only for page. So You have to change for both post and page.
