 * new issues I am having now, text on about page is way too small and cannot for
   the life of me figure out which snippet of css I need to alter to make it larger
   and change the font.
 * also, footer has huge un-needed space above the verbiage that again I have tried
   to get rid of and again can’t seem to find the right code snippet to alter
 * anyone have a clue how to fix (meaning which code snippet to alter)
 * web url is musicofthemarket.com
 * thanks!!

 * You really should not be modifying theme files – as those changes will be lost
   when the theme is updated. Instead use a child theme or custom CSS plugin (if
   you are only making CSS changes).
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * Looks like you changed the content font size?
 * The footer space is caused by this margin:
 *     ```
       #footerdivs {
           margin: 10px auto;
           padding-left: 15%;
           text-align: left;
       }
       ```
   
 * To change it, COPY the relevant part to custom CSS or a child theme and change
   it there – so this:
 *     ```
       #footerdivs {
           margin: 0 auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * It’s also being caused by this empty element:
 *     ```
       <p class="credit"> </p>
       ```
   
 * which still has this CSS:
 *     ```
       #footer p.credit {
           padding: 10px 0 15px;
           text-align: center;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can change that by using:
 *     ```
       #footer p.credit {
          display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * BTW, you might want to start validating your site – as you seem to have created
   quite a few mark-up errors:
 * [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicofthemarket.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicofthemarket.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
 * A child theme is a better way to go if you’re modifying theme files.

 * this theme comes with a place to put my own css under its settings and options,
   I KNOW not to alter the themes css code and I know how to write css, so if there
   are markup issues that’s on the author not me, but I will definitely run it through
   the validation to see if there are things I can do to fix it without compromising
   the theme, thanks for pointing it out to me…..I am still trying to hunt down 
   the snippet I need to override for the font on the about page, I know it is a
   class called singlepost entry…going through the themes css trying to find it…
   wish me luck !!

 * have been through the style sheet back and forth till my eyes are starting to
   cross…this is the code on the about page that is affecting the font size and 
   style
 * <div class=”singlepost entry”>
 * I cannot find that class in the themes css to copy and override to save my life…
   can anyone else find it for me pretty please…thanks !!

 * ran the page through the validator, all the warnings showing are either wrong(
   saying I didn’t close a tag when I did, I double check every single one again)
   or it’s issues with the themes author’s code, when I am not touching.
