Wordpress edit posts question

[J2icharcI]

Hey guys,

So I got my layout and everything done on Wordpress, but I just can't figure out where to go edit the style of my posts. Like the font size, etc. Also, is there are way to put a "read more" link to my posts? That way, if my posts get too long they can go to a new page to read it? Kinda like what Timothy Sykes - Stock Trader, Author, Entrepreneur has.

Thanks in advance.

For your post styling try editing the "topic" class.

To cut off your post where you want using "read more" just insert the more tag where you want

<!--more-->

If your going to use the "more" tag you might want to install this plugin so the "more" tag isn't put in your feed.

Best of luck

Unfortunately I still can`t find the topic class, but the `read me` code really helps, thanks.

Sorry, I got your blog mixed up with the one you were using as an example.

I'm not very familiar with blogspot, from just right clicking yours, it looks to be "post-body entry-content" and/or "post hentry"

Oh no, I`m using Wordpress though, well I`ll give you a peak at my new blog http://hedgeagainstspeculation.com

I just can`t seem to figure out where in the code I need to do the changing.

With respect to your fonts, etc that's usually set in the css file - you'll need to edit that to change font sizes or types for your headings and body text. Or you could create your post in a html program and then copy the code into the blog post if you wanted to make other changes.

With the read more link, I think you can make changes to that in your dashboard - look up Options, then writing or perhaps reading, and hopefully you should be able to find something there.

In your css, look for
