ARRGGHHH!!!

I don't know what's WRONG with these blog templates!!! I've followed every.single.step in this blog to be able to keep my widgets while changing from one blog template to another, but something always went wrong. This time I found a really nice template which showed the pictures in my blog posts that did not appear in my previous template, and after following the instructions, i managed to switch into this template without sacrificing my widgets. But when I previewed the blog, the blog title that was supposed to be big and bold has shrunk to normal 10pt font!!! I wondered whether it was because I messed with the codes, so with a big sigh, I reapplied the original template .xml and overrode all the widgets I've safely brought over. It worked: the blog title came out nice and big, and yet when I re-added my widgets manually, it shrunk again to 10pt font!!! ARRRGGGHHH!!! I swear, when I find the right template, I will never ever change it again. I actually liked my template before this...the only problem was that it wouldn't show the pictures in my blog post for some reason.

You can go into the html of your page and edit it, change the 10px to something larger. I think there's a place where you can do that. Also, losing widgets is the only thing about this I don't like but it's not hard to put them back. Still, I found a layout I like so I'll probably never change mine again, either. But yeah, definitely a pain in the arse. And the person who designed your layout that didn't work, probably left something out in the code...which is probably why the picture didn't work in every browser.

I've found that section in the HTML and guess what...there's nothing wrong with that part. The font size is the same with the one in the original template. But somehow the blog title has shrunk. I've tried enlarging the size to 500% but the font just wouldn't budge. Maybe it has something to do with changes i made in another section of the template. *sighs in frustration* ah well...too bad cos I really like this template and I don't want to change it again, but the small title is soooo annoying!
