How to Change the Font in Your Blog Title (for Idiots)


As you may easily surmise, all this internet stuff is a mystery to me. Despite nearing 1/2 million views on HP alone, one would think that I'd have picked up or at least attempted to learn something a bit more complicated than popping buttons.

But no. In anticipation of creating another blog that offers some actually helpful information, I decided to mess around with this one just to see what I can do. I'd like to build a blog around making stuff and move away from the blatherings presented here where I so depend on the kindness of strangers.

So, I added the sunset so befitting the blog title. Now, that was not hard. Then, I decided to change the font of the title. I goggled 'how to change the font in a title of a blog' and read several lists of instructions that went like this:

)-+rk@%^&*Fu{boo(+#>insert font of your choice here
pX>&)_@..Wdbbbk#$^<;;''|\\\|**-s&!!?ZZzzgah)(+or-)
up['efgahble3*)!,f3&9pVi#$(ll(-'$^,,!!??Zhi
bbn..!%h-+=!!?:$t^&*)_+!&**hbb&-+#$%?!;hj<.:+!?i#

I finally found one that was slightly less intimidating, that did not remind me of how they used to depict curse words in old comics. Then, below,I saw and read one more:

On the Dashboard page, Click Design. Click Template designer button. Under Advanced options browse the fonts, select one you like (you can even change the color) and save. Do not be scared away by the word "advanced."

How simple is that?

Why are we presented with a plethora of complicated code, of large clumps of nearly indecipherable code that may as well be in Chinese (they be hieroglyphics above) when, if you are asking such a simple question, there is a huge change that you don't understand all that technical language?

Of course, I should learn some HTML, or whatever. Of course, I am an idiot. That's why I am asking questions.
