So, this is how I made the first letter always be large (without having to do something special every single time.)
- Click on Customize (or get to the Layout section of your blog)
- Click on the “Edit HTML” link
- In the mess of HTML code (actually, CSS code), search for “.post p”. (or just .post)
- Find an open space and copy the text below into it
.post p:first-letter {
float:left;
width:0.7em;
font-family:Garamond, Georgia, serif;
font-size:400%;
line-height:80%;
}
I’m not sure what all fonts you can use in font-family. If you use a special font and it works on your computer, it may not work on everyone’s computer.
Have fun with it!
You’re so helpful.
Thanks Jeff. You are an awesome uncle!
I am going to try this anything to spice it up
Hi, I am Tammy Bateman’s cousin, and happened upon your blog through hers while blurking. (blog lurking) So, I tried to do this to my blog, but nothing is showing up any different. What to do…
Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I've been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Cheers
