Classifiedflyerads.com has a good blog enhancer that allows changes to the font size and color. Here is a link to their enhancer http://www.classifiedflyerads.com/active-rain-blog-post-enhancer.php You'll be able to see how easy it is to change the fonts here. Once you have completed a draft of your blog on this enhancer, click the source button in the top left corner and click control A to select the entire blog and control C to copy this HTML code. Now open up your AR blog. Be sure to select the HTML tab. Then paste the HTML code/blog from the enhancer right into Active Rain. With this blog enhancer photos must have URL addresses. Because of that it is easiest to add your photos or clip art through Active Rain instead of the blog enhancer. |
Change font size and color - a terrific free tool for bloggers!

Monica, Lacey, Cindi and Jennifer, I'm glad that you liked the tip. I learned about this from someone else's post on Active Rain and have been using it since then.

Thank you for your post. I was looking for info on how to improve my blogs. Julie
I was using it before and I thought that Nvu was easier which is also free.
Thanks for sharing - very good info!
Vicki, this is great information and I look forwarded to exploring the use of this.
This looks cool. I'll have to have my wife show me how to use it.
Julie, Norma, Allen, Jerry - Thanks for reading the post and for your comments.
Lyn, I haven't tried Nvu yet. I'll look into it. Thanks.
Vicky thanks for the tips. Lately I have noticed, depending on whether or not I am using Vista and my new laptop or my computer for work, that the font changes even if I compose in word, spellcheck, and then copy and paste into activerain. I appreciate all the help I can get.
Vicki - Thank you! This is exactly what I set out to find. My only problem is when I click on the link the editor is not coming up. It did and I played with it and now it won't come up . .grrrr
Sorry Vicki - apparently I wasn't logged in . . duh!
Vicki - great post and I love clalssifiedflyerads ao Ill be sure to test the water when I'm over there. Have a great Thanksgiving!
I used to be able to use the f keys to change the font but it no longer works....Thanks, I'll try your method
Great tool thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try it.
Sonya Since I wrote this post, I have experienced some difficulties with font changes coming over into the AR posts from ClassifiedFlyerAds. So I have jumped ship. I did some research on AR and found an alternative - NVu. Here is the link to the post. I'm very pleased with the results and with how easy it is to use. Good luck.
Hi Viki....thanks for sharing but I try clicking on the link and it said that this was no long available!
Do you know of another way?
Aida, I'm sorry that the link doesn't work anymore. Even if the link worked, with the changes to AR, this way of changing fonts doesn't work well anymore. I have switched to a free program - called NVu. http://net2.com/nvu/ To learn more about this program and how to do fancy stuff with your fonts for blogs, go to the link in my comment just above your comment. That is the best post on how to use NVu and what it can do. Good luck.
Vicki: Your blog pertaining to this subject is the gift that keeps on giving!! Thanks a million for the advice and links ...
