    It may depend on the template but you either want the css class for your <P> tags or its likely the div class "entry" I am looking at a default template though.

    hope that helps

    Well, the template(css) is typically what is dictating the font point.

    One line 1em and one line 3em doesn't make any sense to me. All posts are governed by the entry div hence, you can change this to your liking. I don't however know how you would be able to identify line 2 of a post per say.

    Am I missing something? A link with an example might help

    when you make a page/post on a website, you can change the font size of different lines, right?

    Maybe in one post on the blog I want to have different font sizes for various headers (inside one post), is that not possible?

    Ok I think I follow you. In the editor for wordpress you can click on the "show/hide kitchen sink" button which is
    alt>shift>Z this will give you font formatting options like header, paragraph, etc. If you need to futher format something, you will have to make the appropriate changes in the css that governs the editor options.

    hope that helps

    Hi -

    Couldn't you also just go to the HTML tab, and for whatever specific lines you want to change you could use: <span style="font-size:3em;" >your text</span> ?
