Font hard to read

I am using the "Classic Black and Green". Some people find the grey font on posts hard to see. Can I change the colour or make the font a bit bigger by default to rectify this problem. Thanks in advance...The Wasp.

Page properties can be changed in CSS via Admin.
/* Page properties */
#page {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
font-size:14px;
background-color:#ecf2ec;
}
 
Will change margins, font size and background colour. Not sure of Font colour, depends on your background colour.

I opened CSS and all I get is a blank page. No properties to be found. I am a novice and must be doing something wrong.crying

You want to add the property you want to change and then hit the save button at the bottom.
So if you were changing the font size as per the above example enter:
#page {font-size:18px;}
This over rides the Theme setting of 14px.

If you install Firebug and inspect the page area you will than see the new entry with the old entry struck through.
For font color changes you would pick a color and go
#page {color:red;} Note this is not perfect since if your background-color and font color are the same you will not see any text. Does allow for means of hiding stuff however.

Hope this helps.

I see by your last post that you have it working, good job! Sorry if I made it difficult to understand. It can be hard to know the level of experience a person has. I am a beginner at this stuff myself.

Came across the same problem myself being new to css.  All I got was a blank page and I wondered where was the coding to be altered crying
Understand now - so simple. Thanks.
