 * Ok, so i have my WP site up and running, i needed lots of help from various sites
   including this one. Now i’m at an impass and need to pose a question.
 * What i want to do is use an external font residing on my server and be able to
   use it selectivly in some text on some HTML pages. i have tried many things and
   this is what i have currently:
 * in 2010 theam style.css—
 * _[CSS moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   Please just post a link to your site.]_
 * and in example HTML page—
 *     ```
       <p class="mead"; style="text-align: center;"> <b> <font size=+2 color=#000000> my text </ font> </ b/> </ p>
       ```
   
 * _[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]_
 * i don’t think there is anything else preventing meadbold from loading because
   if i set the font to “mead bold” which resides on my development station it loads
   and looks as i want.
 * comments, questions, and smart *** remarks welcomed!

 * Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Instead [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
