Blogs at Penn State Community

If you develop portfolio pages or long blog entries, you may want to include subheaders. Although the HTML Editor does allow you to increase sizes, it is not really "standards compliant."

If you are interested in generating properly nested headers, you should know that the blog title is an H1 and the title of each entry or blog page is an H2. So I've been using H3 and H4 for sub-headers within an entry. Unfortunately the CSS files for most themes do not display distinct H3/H4 at all.

If you want to tweak your stylesheet, you can add classes to your themes in the Design >> Templates area. Just open the Stylesheet – Main (styles.css) template and cut and paste the styles at the end of this post and tweak as needed.
