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: /* Theme Name: butterfly Theme URI: http://www.headsetoptions.org/ Description: A new Black WordPress Theme with a bright colorful <strong>Butterfly Header</strong> by <a href="http://www.headsetoptions.org">headsetoptions.org</a> and <a href="http://www.mandarinmusing.com" title="Theme Ported to WordPress by MandarinMusing and Headsetoptions">Mandarin Musing</a> based on design by <a href="mailto:collingrasley@gmail.com">Coll23</a> and released for free under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License.

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.
