Text in posts gets smaller – help!!!

hi, thanks for replying

i dindt copy and paste from ms word at all when making this – did copy and paste from dreamweaver a few times, but it was just from a css stylesheet…

not sure what you mean about the ‘>’ – where was it deleted from? where do i have to add this symbol? could you be more specific?

hi, thanks for replying again!

1. on that particular post i was messing about with it and copy and pasted in firefox while i looked at the image – it was originally written directly into wordpress… thats why the html probably looks like that…

2. this ‘>’ symbol…

i deleted it just now- you were right, it was an added symbol that needed to be deleted, but this still doesnt make any difference to the size of the font. The problem is, that when viewed from the front page, (news section) in all posts after the first post, the font size is getting progressively smaller. the most recent post is the size i want, then as you scroll down to the next, the text in previous posts has been downsized somehow. i want the text to all be the same size as the first post… sorry if i didnt explain properly!! 😐

hello thanks for replying again,

ive deleted that post and re-posted it now, but as i said before, its not the first post thats the problem, its the following posts. The most recent post is in the size i wanted, then the text in previous posts get smaller as the posts go down. i tried posting a test post with nonsense in it and saw that the text in the posts gets progressively smaller – this makes me think its a css or php code issue, as i cant think that a mistake in pasting would make the text get progressively smaller as you scroll down the page. any thoughts? heres a copy of the index.php code:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”content”>
<?php if (have_posts()) :?>
<?php $postCount=0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php $postCount++;?>
<div class=”entry entry-<?php echo $postCount ;?>”>
<div class=”entrytitle”>
<h2><?php if( is_single() ) : ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endif; ?></h2>
<h3><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?></h3>
</div>
<div class=”entrybody”>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>

</div>
<div class=”commentsblock”>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’) ?></div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<h2>Not Found</h2>
<div class=”entrybody”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

managed to fix this myself – was a css problem in the end. not sure what affect those extraneous codes are having, but the werent the problem, although im sure they are at some level… for me, all i want to do with this site is post work periodically, so the code doesnt bother me that much. in the end it was a problem with me getting confused at the ’em’ font sizes. heres the reviewed css code from the entry section – problem solved 🙂

.entry{
margin-bottom:0px;
padding:5px 10px;
font-size:1em;
font-color:#999999;
}

.entrymeta{

font-color:#999999;
}
.entrymeta a{
font-color:#999999;
