   Hi Rishi - 1st, I wanted to congratulate you on a very awesome HemingwayEx mod! Really nice work.

   I’m also curious about a few of your tweaks and wondered if you could share some of your expertise as I’m currently customizing HemingwayEx and I’m stumped on some elements.

   In particular…

   > Can’t seem to figure out how to adjust the default font-size.
   * Yours is perfect and close to what I’d like to use — the original is way to small.

   > Also curious about your performance / user-friendly tweaks you’d mentioned in the HemingwayEx forums.

   Thanks so much!

   Hello Colin! Haha, thanks for the kind words. I’d be happy to share!

   Try appending this to the bottom of your style.css file. It should overwrite the current font parameters and replace them with the ones I have on this site.

   body{font-size:80%;font-family:Verdana}

   Clear your browser cookies and cache, and then refresh the page to see the new effects. The 80% is to adjust the text size, and the Verdana is the font-type. I specifically chose Verdana since it is reputed with being a font which is easy to read. Also, make sure you are not running the text resize script (an option in HemingwayEx) as this will revert the 80% back to the default. Let me know if this works!

   As far as other user-friendly modifications, I shared one with you (using Verdana font); however, I obviously adjusted the color scheme to maximize readability (and showcase my liking of the color blue, heh) and added a drop-down menu. Furthermore, I’m using a Google CDN (content distribution network) to host my CSS file and other images. This speeds up my loading time a little and reduces my shared host bandwidth usage. Let me know if you’d like more details!

   Hi Rishi — Thanks for responding so quickly and for the great info! Very interesting about the Google CDN — I’ll have to look into that…

   RE: the font resize…

   I’m unfortunately STILL having issues even w/ the tweaks you mentioned. I’ve tried 2 different techniques and neither seems to be working.

   Here’s what I tried…

   1) your suggestion — I changed the body tag in style.css and then removed the JS call for text_resize.js in the header.php [which looks like the only call in all the files]. And then turned off the text resize option in the WP admin display settings.

   2) since the above didn’t seem to fix — I then just tried to modify the text_resize settings w/in the actual JS file to 80, and kept the original JS call for it in the header.php [and changed the style.css body tag to 80]. Still didn’t work…

   * Few notes on the above:

   > I cleared cache/cookies while testing all the above [each time].

   > I noticed that the page will display w/ my new settings for a second, BUT then immediately resizes to the default which makes me thinks something is STILL overriding and calling the default text_resize…

   > I also noticed there’s reference to a “font_resizer” w/in the header and functions files. I haven’t messed w/ that yet but was wondering if that’s something to try and modify.

   Thanks so much again! Really appreciate the assist w/ this.

   Note: The fix did work, but the cache had not been properly cleared. Good to see you using the HWayEx theme, Colin!

   I just added the ability for users to edit comments for thirty minutes after their initial post. There’s a link right below your name next to your comment which will begin the editing process. This feature was suggested by Oscar, so thank him.

   Hey Gabi! You would have to be a little more detailed than that, but I’m sure I could assist you. By detailed, I mean what host are you using, what’s the URL, etc. Let me know!

    It’s actually a CSS class which is originally from the Suckerfish plugin.

    This is part of my style.css file which accounts for the Suckerfish drop down menu.

    #suckerfishnav{background:000;border-top:solid,thin;font-size:15px;font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;width:100%;z-index:1}#suckerfishnav,#suckerfishnav ul{background-color:#0B1A2C;float:left;list-style:none;line-height:20px;margin:0;width:100%}#suckerfishnav a{display:block;color:#e3e3e3;text-decoration:none;padding:0 10px}#suckerfishnav li{float:left;padding:0}#suckerfishnav ul{position:absolute;left:-999em;height:auto;width:150px;font-weight:normal;margin:0;line-height:1.5;border:0;z-index:1}#suckerfishnav li li{width:90px;font-weight:normal;font-family:verdana,sans-serif}#suckerfishnav li li a{padding:4px 0;width:100px;font-size:13px;color:#000}#suckerfishnav li ul ul{margin:-21px 0 0 100px}#suckerfishnav li li:hover{background:#e3e3e3}#suckerfishnav li ul li:hover a,#suckerfishnav li ul li li:hover a,#suckerfishnav li ul li li li:hover a,#suckerfishnav li ul li li li:hover a{color:#2955cc}#suckerfishnav li:hover a,#suckerfishnav li.sfhover a{color:#2955cc}#suckerfishnav li:hover li a,#suckerfishnav li li:hover li a,#suckerfishnav li li li:hover li a,#suckerfishnav li li li li:hover li a{color:#fff;border-bottom:thin solid #fff;border-right:thin solid #fff}#suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul,#suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul ul,#suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul ul ul,#suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul,#suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul ul,#suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul ul ul{left:-999em}#suckerfishnav li:hover ul,#suckerfishnav li li:hover ul,#suckerfishnav li li li:hover ul,#suckerfishnav li li li li:hover ul,#suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul,#suckerfishnav li li.sfhover ul,#suckerfishnav li li li.sfhover ul,#suckerfishnav li li li li.sfhover ul{left:auto;background:#265491;opacity:0.88;}#suckerfishnav li:hover,#suckerfishnav li.sfhover{background:#e3e3e3}

    Look in this page’s source (View Source) in the header area to find where I manually create the navigation bar using the suckerfish element.
