Are there any fellow font addicts in the house? :) Have you ever wanted to use fonts to add a cute, personalized look to your blog? Have you seen blogs with cute fonts for their titles, dates, or sidebar headers and thought, “I want that!”? Have you’ve already tried to do it, only to discover if someone else doesn’t have the font installed, they won’t see it?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then I have good news for you my friend! This is a tutorial on how to use your own, custom fonts on your Blogger/Blogspot blogs. You can change your post title font, sidebar titles font, and even the date font. And even if the other person doesn’t have the font installed, they’ll still be able to see whatever font you chose.
{ click image to see this working on Blogger }
Here’s how you do it.
1. Choose a font. It can be any font you want. Feel free to browse the selection of free fonts offered here on Kevin & Amanda!
2. Convert the font to SWF. Make sure the font you chose is saved on your computer and is unzipped, then visit the site below to convert your TTF file into a SWF file.
http://www.sifrgenerator.com/wizard.html
Follow the onscreen instructions to upload your font. When going through the steps, you don’t have to change any of the options. Just use what they have. When you get to Step 2, confirm that sIFR 3 r436 is checked. If anything else is checked, it won’t work. Download and save your newly converted font (it will be a SWF file).
3. Download and save the following four files. To save, right click on the filenames below and choose Save Target As or Save Link As.
sifr.css
sifr.js
blogger-sifr.js
index.htm
Note: If you are using a new Blogger Designer template, and your sidebar titles are not changing, use this file instead of the one above:
4. Create an account at HostWebs.com. You’ll need an account here, even though you already have a Blogger/Blogspot blog. This is where you’ll host your custom font file, and the other files needed to correctly display it on your blog. Unfortunately, there’s no way to host these on your blog, thus the need for a separate hosting account. During the sign-up process, be sure to choose HTML Only Mode.
5. Once your account at HostWebs.com is created, use the File Manager to upload the SWF font file and the previously mentioned 4 files.
6. From the HostWebs file manager, click on the blogger-sifr.js file to edit it. You will need to customize this file for your blog. When you open it, you’ll see something like this:
var kevinandamanda = {
src: 'http://username.hostwebs.com/fontname.swf'
};
sIFR.activate(kevinandamanda);
In the second line, where it says
src: 'http://username.hostwebs.com/fontname.swf'
Replace username with your HostWebs.com username and fontname with the exact font name of your SWF file.
*Careful* This is a common typo area. Don’t delete the quotes around the font URL or the code won’t work. It should look exactly like it looks in the code above.
Now under that you’ll see three sections: Post Title, Date and Sidebar Titles. In those sections, you will see something like this:
css: ['.sIFR-root { color: #000000; font-size: 28px; font-weight: normal; }'
,'a { text-decoration: none; }'
,'a:link { color: #000000; }'
,'a:hover { color: #000000; }
See those three places where it says color: #000000; ? Change that six digit code, 000000, to whatever color you want. (You will need to know the 6 digit color code.)
The first one changes the color if it's not a link.
The second one changes the color if it is a link.
The third one changes the color if it's a link and people hover their mouse over it.
Usually the first two are the same color and the third one is a different color.
Here's a color slider to help you pick your color and get the code. Or I use a cool Firefox plugin, Colorzilla. It lets you click on any color on any webpage (like a background that's already on your blog) and it'll copy the color code to your clipboard. Then all you have to do is paste the code where it goes. I use this addon all the time! :)
You can also play around with the font size if you want it bigger or smaller. Just change 28 to a bigger or smaller number. (Try 32 if you want bigger, 20 if you want smaller.)
You can change the font color and size for all three sections. *Note* There are ultimately 9 places where you can change the font color: 3 in the Post Title section, 3 in the Sidebar section and 3 in the Date section. Be sure you change them all! :)
When you get done playing, click the button in the top left-hand corner to save the file.
This is the final step! Don't skip it! :)
7. Now it's time to implement the code into your Blogger/Blogspot blog. Go to your Dashboard. Click on Layout, then Edit HTML.
Look in that code and find the line that says </head> (Look closely, it's not <head>, it's </head>)
(Quick Tip: Click CTRL-F to search for </head> to easily find it in all that code)
Just above </head>, copy and paste the following code:
<link href='http://username.hostwebs.com/sifr.css' media='all' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
<script src='http://username.hostwebs.com/sifr.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script src='http://username.hostwebs.com/blogger-sifr.js' type='text/javascript'/>
You will need to change where it says username on all three lines to your HostWebs.com username.
This is another common typo area - Only paste this code once and only change where it says username. Don't add or change anything else here.
Save that.
Now go to your blog and see your new, customized look!!! :)
Frequently Asked Questions / Troubleshooting
* Here are the most common problems... and their solutions! :) *
I think I did everything right, but it didn't work.
1. Check to make sure you did the "final step" correctly and that there are no typos.
2. Check your blogger-sifr.js file for typos- this is the most common reason why it doesn't work. Compare your blogger-sifr.js file with mine and see if you can spot your typo.
3. Check to make sure you uploaded all your files to your HostWebs.com account. You should have at least 4 files: blogger-sifr.js, sifr.css, sifr.js, and your SWF font file. If even one is missing, the whole thing won't work.
4. Make sure you have the most current version of Flash and Javascript installed and up-to-date on your Browser.
5. You may need to refresh or restart your browser (or even reboot the computer) for changes to take effect. Any changes you make through Blogger or HostWebs.com will be immediate, but because of browser caching, your browser may still show the “old” blog instead of the “new” blog with the font changes.
6. This code is intended to work on the default Blogger Minima template. If the code for your blog has been modified from it's original template, this code may not work for you. You may need to switch back to a default template for this code to work.
7. If you are using the HostWebs.com links, but it's not working, try changing the links to Webs.com. Everything else will stay the same, just change "HostWebs" to "Webs". There are 4 places where you'll need to change the code. (One in your blogger-sifr.js file, and 3 in your Blogger HTML code.) Not sure what the deal with HostWebs/Webs is, but sometimes if you create an account at Hostwebs, your links will be at Webs. I can't figure it out!
8. If you are getting a weird line of text at the top of your blog that says Read More and has a a link back to this site, go back to the HTML section of your Blogger Dashboard, find the text (just under where you pasted the code) and delete it.
My titles totally disappeared! (Blank Titles)
Blank titles are usually the result of a typo in the blogger-sifr.js file. Double check your work and compare your blogger-sifr.js file with mine and see if you can spot your typo.
There could also be a problem with your SWF font file. Type the address of your SWF font file in your browser. It should look like this:
http://kevinandamanda.webs.com/peahannahvanilla.swf
(click on the address to see what it should look like on your screen)
If it is a blank screen, there's an error with the SWF file and that's why your titles are blank too. You will need to delete that SWF file and try again. You may need to try it from a different computer / browser / ISP.
It worked, but I have two sidebars and it only changed the fonts for one.
Add this code to the bottom of your blogger-sifr.js file:
// Code for Second Sidebar
sIFR.replace(kevinandamanda, {
selector: '#sidebar h2',
fitExactly: true,
tuneHeight: -5,
css: ['.sIFR-root { color: #000000; font-size: 28px; font-weight: normal; }'
,'a { text-decoration: none; }'
,'a:link { color: #000000; }'
,'a:hover { color: #000000; }'
],
wmode: 'transparent',
ratios: [6, 1.93, 10, 1.92, 13, 1.86, 17, 1.82, 21, 1.8, 29, 1.79, 32, 1.78, 33, 1.77, 36, 1.78, 43, 1.77, 44, 1.76, 47, 1.77, 70, 1.76, 71, 1.75, 74, 1.76, 75, 1.75, 76, 1.76, 1.75]
});
//End of Sidebar code.
Look in the third line and change the word “sidebar” to whatever you named your second sidebar when you added it. Only the word sidebar, don’t mess with the # or the h2. For instance, it may look like this:
selector: '#left-sidebar h2',
My fonts are being cut off!
This is a problem with the way the font was made, not with the code. If it’s one of my fonts, simply download the newest version of the font from my site. You will need to unzip, reconvert, and reupload the new font file. Be sure to delete all instances of the font from your computer and your hostwebs.com account first. If it’s not one of my fonts, you will have to contact the font author for an updated version of their font.
You can also look in your blogger-sifr.js file, and find the line that says fitExactly (it’ll be in there three times, once in the Post Title section, once in the Sidebar section and once in the Date section) and if it says true, change it to false. *Thanks to Liene for this info!
The custom font is showing up, but the old font is still there too! (Double Titles)
There’s a problem with your sifr.css file.
1. Check to make sure you uploaded the sifr.css file to your HostWebs.com account.
2. Check to make sure you didn’t make a typo when you copied and pasted the code above the </head> in the Edit HTML section of your Blogger Dashboard.
It worked, but my titles used to be centered and now they’re not.
Whenever I get this comment, I always check, but they always look centered to me. I think it’s because I use Firefox and not Internet Explorer.
You can try adding this code, but I’ve gotten mixed results- some say it works, some say it doesn’t.
Find this in your blogger-sifr.js file:
css: ['.sIFR-root { color: #000000; font-size: 28px; font-weight: normal; }'
Add this:
css: ['.sIFR-root { color: #000000; font-size: 28px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center; }'
It’s working, but the old font is showing up first, then the custom font loads.
The font is competing with all the other photos, blinkies, widgets, music playlists, etc, on your blog for loading time. Limiting the number of posts that show on your blog to 10 or less will help speed things up. Other than that- the font is just like an image and will always have to “load”- that’s just the nature of the internet. (It even does it on my blog.) The original font is there first just in case the custom font never loads, you will still have a post title. How fast the custom font loads will depend on your internet connection speed and the HostWebs.com connection speed.
It worked! Now how can I change the font for my blog header / description / footer / pages / other blog element?
I don’t recommend using this method to change the font for any other element on your blog besides your post titles and dates. I normally prefer using images. I only like this method for post titles and dates because they are changing with every post- and it would be a pain to make a new image for every post! :) For elements that aren’t changing constantly, like your header, I recommend creating an image and uploading that.
My custom titles suddenly stopped working.
Make sure you have the most current version of Flash and Javascript installed and up-to-date on your Browser.
*Please Note* If you are having an issue with your HostWebs.com account or the sifrgenerator.com site, you will need to contact them for technical support.

P.S. I do have Post Title Icons to the left of the title but I took them out and tried it and it still didn’t work. I refreshed, closed window and reopened it, and I even restart my pc and nothing works HELP :-)
Oh boy I don’t know what is going on with the silly thing. But I tried switching out the ‘h3.post-title’, as you said and it did not work so then I tried changing my template to Minima template and tried it again, of course switching back the above ‘h3.post-title’, and no luck either way. I don’t know what happen to my blog but I guess I, well don’t know, lol :-) If you can think of anything else great but if not I still loved the tut :-)
Okay I finally got it to work, YEAH! I’m dancing right now but you can’t see me, lol :-) Again many thanks Amanda!

PLeeeeeease help me put your AMAZING fonts on my blog.
My blog is almost a fetus compared to yours- i Haven’t even started posting properly yet. Please help me make it pretty like yours!!
I followed all the instructions really closely but nothing is happening!!!
Hi! I have been trying all day to get your fonts to work, I have repeated the steps over and over and I still can’t get my titles to show up! They just disappear! Help!
These were FANTASTIC instructions and they worked like a charm. You can head on over to check it out if you have the time. I’m in the process to doing several upgrades right now, but this one is my favorite so far!

this was so stinking easy! i was done so quickly and it worked perfectly. thank you so much for this, i’m sending all of my friends here to do this! :) you are great at tutorials, you should keep it up!
Amanda,
I love your fonts but I have Typepad. I couldn’t get this to work. I went through all of the steps to the letter. When I clicked back on my blog, it had deleted all of my blog template/formatting. I had to delete the files in order to get my blog back. Is there a way that I can use all of you cute fonts on Typepad? I am putting your button on my log now….you have got some precious stuff!
Thanks for helping,
Jen B
Hi! I have been trying to use the “Pea Aimee” font. I downloaded it & unzipped it. Then you said to click on that link to start uploading it and the link doesnt work for me. Is there anything you can do to get it on my page?! I put your button on the right side of my page :)
Thanks!
Shelly Oliver
Thanks for the great tutorial! This is awesome!!! Love the way it looks on my blog – http://notforthefaint.blogspot.com/
Oh my Gosh!! Thank you so much!! I love it, however, I have one problem. I have a 3 column blog and for some reason the left side bar font hasn’t changed? Any suggestions?
Amanda,
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been dying to change the fonts on my blog and now you’ve helped me figure it out!
Is there a code to change the font for my linkbar at the top?
I am going to link you from my blog!
Come by and check it out… (and see if you you can help with my linkbar :))
http://www.joyfullygray.com
Thank you SOOoooh much. You made a complicated process (complicated for me at any rate) really easy to follow. Your instructions & trouble shooting tips were AWEsome! :O)
hi amanda,
I did it finally! thanks so much for sharing this fun stuff =)
It’s wonderful! so much fun to play with. thank you for the easy tutorial and cute fonts.
now if i could just change the fonts on my nav bar!
Thanks for the new fonts. I added the fonts to my sidebars but only 1 of my 2 sidebars changed fonts. How do I get my other sidebar to change?
First of all, thanks SO MUCH for doing this! This was really helpful. By any chance, though, could you tell me how to change the font for the title of my blog in general? When I followed the steps, only the titles for the individual postings changed, not for the whole blog (hope that makes sense). Thanks again!!!
Looks like I finally got it to work!! However, is there anything different you need to do when editing the color or font or will the changes eventually take effect? You don’t need to add anything different on the blog’s html?
Thanks for your tutorial! They are a great help to me since I started my blog lately. It’s my first blog.
By the way, why my second type of font for my blog title doesn’t work?
I only manage to change the fonts of post titles based on your tutorial.
Would be grateful to get feedbacks from you.
Thank you for this little trick! I know you spent a long time getting it all written out, and I appreciate it so much! I love my blog, and now, LOVE my blog because of the cute font! It was actually easy to follow your directions and get it down.
Thanks so much! I’ll be checking back frequently for more tips and tricks!
My blog title is showing up blank but i made sure everything was correct and spelled the right way and its still coming up as blank.
I am having the hardest time with this! I have been working on it for over a week little bits at a time! I am following every direction exact but I feel I am doing something wrong. Isn’t there a live demo I can watch to help? The link isn’t working on the one posted.
OH my goodness – what a great tutorial! I was directed here by Roxanne Bradford and I am so excited to have successfully changed my fonts! Thank you, thank you! Now I am going to check out your other posts about blog buttons and hopefully singatures! I appreciate your wonderful tutorial!! :)
I don’t know if you’re still checking this, but I’m having a problem. I’ve followed all the directions and its working great, except one of the colors won’t change. It is pink and no matter what number I put in it doesn’t change. http://www.razzdazzperazz.blogspot.com
If you can help, that’d be fantastic!
Thanks!
I changed the font of my sidebar and post titles. I also put a signature on my posts…Thanks so much for the help. These are things I have been wanting to do for a while now and because of you, I did it!! PS…any suggestions on how to get a cuter font for my post entries…nothing too fancy just something cuter?
Thanks so much the font worked on my posts and one side of my blog but not the other side what can I do?
http://mariah-readingadventure.blogspot.com/
thanks again!
Thanks so much for taking your time to post this! It took me FOREVER to do it, but my blog looks so much better. :) I’m having a hard time trying to get my header to change. Could you please help! I followed the directions and copied and pasted the code to the bottom, but it’s still not working at all. Thanks so much!!
WOW YOUR SITE IS AMAZING!
What a great and genius “how to”, but simple for those of us just starting!
Thank you so much, Amanda!
I’ve done everything perfectly I think, but when I look in the “edit html”, I cannot find the place where it says ….i’ve tried the “find” tool and even looked little by little through the whole thing.
My website is currently using a template, could that get in the way?
I feel SO close…hahah just so far away too.
Help?
Hi Amanda! I just discovered your site and I must admit…i love it! I tried to put one of your fonts on my blog and it worked, sort of. It worked except the colors are not what I thought I programmed them to be. Can you please hlep me????
Thanks so much for this! I have added a ute font on my blog! Wonder if you can guess which one it is!!
HI! I need help!!! I’ve gotten to the part where i’m suppose to click on EDIT in webs.com file manager (this part: Go back to the File Manager and click on the pencil (Edit) by the blogger-sifr.js file. ) For some reason I can’t click on the Edit button… I can click on all the other things (rename, delete…) just not the edit thing so I can’t go any further!
THanks for any help you can give me!
Well, I finally got it to work for me. I tried before but accidentally didn’t download the other 4 files so therefore no worky!
Thanks so much for everything you do. LOVE the fonts, site, tutorials. You’re the best.
I could just kiss you. Honestly. You don’t know how long I have been trying to figure this out. There’s no way I would have figured it out on my own. Your directions are so clear and easy to follow. I can’t wait to direct my friends to your incredible site!
Amanda!!! There are VERY few things in life I’ll read directions for, but on this rainy afternoon…I READ and your tutorial WORKED and it’s fabulous!
I’ve got a new font in my title!!

I love the fonts but I am having trouble with my colors. I changed my color for he font and hit save and still it would not change to the colors that I want. Can you please help? How do I change the colors of my font and get them to show up on my blog.
I am so proud of myself for being able to do this! Thanks for the tutorial.
One problem: Whenever you click on the title, to be taken directly to the post, the titles changes back to the normal font. How do I fix that? The sidebars, aren’t giving me problems, only the title.
If you could, I would really appreciate an answer via e-mail. Thank you again.
Awesome! My blog looks sooo pretty!

everyonelovesfashion.blogspot.com
AAAGGGHH! I openly and willingly admit that I am a computer idiot and that your instructions seem as simple as pie. Having said that, I can’t seem to make them work. Help, please? I have done everything the way I should in my mind, but since it doesn’t work, I most likely didn’t. Nothing changes.
My blog is Heartstringsnpreciousthings.blogspot.com.
E-mail is listed.
Please, please help.
I am having trouble getting the colors to be all the same colors. There are 3 colors on my blog. One for the date, one for the title of the post and one color on the side where I have my links, and I put in to same color code on all three codes that I changed. Can’t I change the color to when I change my background in the future? and how do I do that?
thank you so much this was piece of cake!!!
Hi! Love the fonts, but it changed all my fonts on the right side, but didn’t change the ones on the left…hoping you can help :)
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! Thank you. My personal, family blog is now much cuter! :)
Thank you so much for posting this :) I am so happy that my blog has a makeover. I love it now! How do you do other things like a signature at the bottom of your posts?
I’m feeling silly, but I can’t get it to work. My blog looks just like it did before doing this process – same old boring fonts. I wanted to use peasqueaker. Help me, please! Also, I can’t find your email to send you an invite – my blog is private. Ugh. I’m such a mess. Sorry. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi,
I am working on setting up and changing the font with the instructions above. I am stuck at the part that says… Now it’s time to implement the code into your Blogger/Blogspot blog. Go to your Dashboard. Click on Layout, then Edit HTML. I can’t find the LAYOUT and then edit HTML button anywhere on my dashboard! Can you help me find where it would be or where I can do thsi?
thanks! i didn’t think i could do it but i did! yay!
Thank you SO much for this! I’m not sure if this is mentioned in the other 500+ comments, but I changed the “fitexactly” from true to false because the font was cutting off and that fixed it. Thanks again for this post – you write with such clarity – it’s great!
Thanks so much for this tutorial!! I love it! And I love your fonts too!!
For allowing people to comment and ask for help – I give you the award of Most Patient, Helpful Person Ever. :) I’ve gone through the tutorial a couple of times and checked and double-checked for errors, but I’m not having any luck finding them. My site remains the same as always. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks for everything! Your websites are fantastic and your dogs are so, so cute!
Hey Amanda! First of all, thank you for the amazing fonts. I absolutely love them. I am having trouble getting this to work. I am onto the step where I am uploading my files on webs.com and have done the 4 I got from here but when I upload my font file it isn’t showing up as an SWF file? I don’t know what the deal is. I did the SIFR generator and anything. I’m sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I just can’t figure it out. Thanks so much!
Hello Amanda. I am back to inform you that I got my code to work!!! I just kept on trying and eventually i got it. Although, I have still not been able to figure out how to fix the font color? I tried using the firefox add on that you suggested and put those codes in but it’s still pink on my sidebars. I was also wondering what steps i would need to take or would i have to re-do the whole process in order to change the font? my site is http://coocoo4coupons.blogspot.com/ Thank you so much for all of your help and for having such lovely font’s and site.
I’m still very much new to the blog-world so there’s nothing even on my blog yet. I’ve attempted to upload the “everytime I miss you” font to my titles but there are two problems. The first is it hasn’t changed my title, “A Cup of Tea and A Side of Life” and even though I have chosen a color off of color picker, a nice grey tone, the color is still coming up pink.
Thank you, thank you,
Willa
Hi Amanda! Thank you so much for this fun and helpful tutorial! I love the way your beautiful Pea Ash fot looks on my blog! Go take a looksee. http://joshandtacyjackson.blogspot.com/
P.S. I’m not sure if I did something wrong with the layout I’m using, but some people said they can’t leave comments. If you have the same problem, I’m sorry. I don’t know quite howto fix it…
Hey Amanda , I Sure Do Appreciate The Hard Work That You Put Into Making Our Blogs Brilliant . I Have downloaded One Of You’re fonts , Pea Makana ( Soooo Cute ! ) and would really love to have it as my blogger post titles . I Have followed all the instructions down to The T But the only problem i have is on Webs.com . The other four files that we were told to upload have the Pencil next to them but The File Which has the font in does not :( So I Am unable to use this super cool font as my post titles . I Do understand that this is not you’re fault but i was just curious to know wether you knew how to fix this , being very computer savvy and all that !
Keep up the hard work .
thank you for sharing yr genius knowledge, after 2 days of trial and error, Ive managed to do this. . . thank you so mucchhhh:)
I am pretty sure a lot of people asked this already but I didn’t know their answers… When I change the color for the date, sidebar and post title, only the date and sidebar colors change. I don’t know why the post title color won’t change when I used the same color for all of them. Do you know why this might be? If I’m retarded it’s okay you can just tell me.
Also, thank you for sharing your talent with everyone! These are so cute and amazing. You are very kind to share this gift and love with everyone else.
nevermind. it worked miraculously! thanks!
oppps amanda can u help me, the fonts works but ive lost the date . . .
Thank you! Tried it and even though it was a bit a work to begin with it was well worth it. I’m still considering changing colours, sizes etc. Thanks again!
i’m to the point where i need to color colors- that’s not my problem. how do i change the font in my heading?
Ok, I want to send you an invite, but I don’t know your e mail address, but I keep just losing my titles. they go blank! And I tried what you said in the tutorial, but it still didn’t come up! ug! HELP!
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to do this. I love all your fonts and it was soooo hard to pick just one. But… I did and I love it. It was a lot more work then I thought but it was definitely worth it. I found a like to your page off http://www.drewmark19.blogspot.com/ .. so I give her all the credit for doing what I have to my site… But I just want to thank you again… because of you my site looks AMAZING!!!

sorry but what is a swf file?
Amanda- Your website is amazing. I love all of your fonts, and tips. I could seriously spend hours on your site. I am slowly learning how to improve my own blog, but I couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you so much for all your help! I absolutely love your website! I changed the font for my post titles, but I can’t get the color to change on the sidebar titles. I change the color and the post titles change but the sidebar stays pink. Am I doing something wrong?
I’m ready to pull my hair out!!! I have been trying for 3 days now! After downloading a font (from your site of course) and following the link to convert to swf file, EVERY TIME it says, “not a ttf file” I’ve tried using their file converter about a million times now. I don’t know what to do!!! Someone, anyone, please help me!
Your tutorial was awesome!!! It took me a bit to get it working right but now I will be able to make changes SUPER easy! You rock!
Thank you Amanda, this is great! Tyne from The White House sent me over after I asked her how she did it!
My only question is, is there any way to get a separate font for the sidebar titles?
Thank you again!
~Erica
Thanks for your great tutorial. Worked great on my blog!
Thanks for the cute fonts! It worked on my site, however sometimes my blog title and description jump to the left, to the center and then back to the left.
Also, is there any way I can make the blog title/description different from the other titles?
Thanks so much, your site is amazing!

Hi Amanda!
I LOVE you blog and all the time you have spent helping others make their blog super cute too! My only problem is I can’t get the sidebar title colors changed. It’s pink…and I don’t want pink! ;) My blog is private but I will add you…Do you think you can help me?
Thanka Again!
Hi Amanda,
I’m just starting a recipe blog: kellysrecipeblog.blogspot.com and I got my fonts changed, but the post title seems too far away from where the post actually starts. Is there a way to change something to make there not be so much space between them? I used another font for my other blog: joyfuladorations.blogspot.com and I love how it turned out!
Thanks so much for your help!

Found your site yesterday and am now OBSESSED. I successfully re-did my sisters blog (www.adventuresofhollymo.blogspot.com) with your help, and I redesigned mine today. Mine looks great (IMHO), except the post title fonts won’t change. I re-did everything 3 times and re-started and everything. I looked through the many comments (I guess no good deed goes unpunished…you’re a saint), but I’m afraid my problem is unique. I would appreciate your insight, when you have the time.

Thanks! You’re a doll!

Hi there! I was glad to find your website and try out the fonts and everything. I set up a new blog and had the format & font done perfectly, just as I wanted, per your directions. The next day, I log in only to see an error “Your account has been disabled.” No reasoning, nothing I can do, apparently google can do this at any time for any reason. So I have lost my blog posts, among other things. In the help section on google, it says it is most likely because I’ve violated their terms of use. Has anyone else had this problem and do you know what I did wrong and what I can do to avoid this next time??
I can’t get mine to show up and I have triple checked it! I can’t figure out what the problem is. My blog is private so I will send an invite. Thanks!
Amanda-
I love your blog. I find it very helpful! I am done everything twice and for some reason my titles are still not showing up? Do you have any insight on what I am doing wrong. I have check everything and it looks right. Thanks!
I got it to work! I was being retarded before! Thanks for such great instructions!
I love these tutorials- they’re great! One question though. I would like to to change my blog’s heading title (not just individual post titles) to a font different from either the post titles and the post text. Any advice?
Hi Amanda!!
I followed your tutorials very closely. For some reason I still cannot get the font to show up on my blog. I went back over the tutorials and double-checked code…etc.
Can you help me please?? :)
Thanks!
~Ronda
I can’t get my titles to show up, I’ve doubled checked everything and even erased and done it again with no luck. Please help.
my blog I’m trying to do this to is tandtcrabtree.blogspot.com (a joyful life)
thanks so much.
Never mind, I got it working. I’ve got two blogs done and am working on the third, come see.
Just wanted to say thanks so much for your tutorials. I had been wanting to spice my blog up a bit but had no idea how to until I stumbled upon your blog. Thanks so much!!
Awesome work!
