How to specify font size on your Squidoo Lenses?

September 21, 2009 in Featured, HTML/CSS for Squidoo by Melissa

There is always a discussion on Squidoo how to do some things in HTML or CSS. I have get involved in discussions over at Squidoo with HTML and CSS. Since I am the current HTML and CSS Mentor, I should be as that is my expertise. I have learned how to use HTML since 1998, but I have come a long way on my own over the years and most people whom have seen my hand crafted websites that I happen to use both HTML and CSS were rather good. I also used that same information to create wonderful forum themes.

What I am trying to get at is that I do know a thing or two when it comes to HTML and CSS. For a while, I have had my lens called font information up. Normally, I don’t go and write up about one of my lenses. In light of one of the recent Squidu threads, I figure I should.

Basically what I want to convey here is the different between the P and B tags when using it within your modules. I always use the P tag more than I use the b tag, but I still use the B tag when it is needed. Technically, I believe you can use either or. If you are using it for the whole module, I would suggest the P more than the B tags. If you need to use the b, it is used for one or more letters normally. P stands for paragraph while B stands for bold usually unless you add styles options to it to make it normal. All of that information is listed in my font information lens.

If you use a p style or b style tags, you can add font size to them by hyphenating font size and then add right after the colon how big you want to put the font. Choose any number like fifteen. Then add px right after that. There are other metrics you can use for font size, but I prefer px over em or some of the others. Everyone has preference. Some people like one way over the other and sometimes it has to do with where you had learned it from. There is nothing that says one way is better than the other, but more its preferences.
