You can use the buttons up top.  

Or, go into the HTML.   There are countless methods and formats of XHTML and HTML.  Here is one simple example; you can change the size, color, font style:

In general I use 14 but if I want a fancy type I construct my post in Word and paste it in AR and that always seems to work for me.

Font 14 works bette on small screens such as phone appls.

Color will accentuate it.  AR got few selctions of fonts..... Undesirable.

The default works for me...

Tony,

Unless I am writing it directly on AR, I use the default font.  If I copy from Word, I have it preset with another font, and our website has its own default font which we preselected.  A

Gosh, I just use the standard one usually but change the color to black. I only use the 12 pt which I think is large enough.

Just saw a post which was larger & it seemed like the writer was in my face yelling!

Other way is to go into the HTML which would then turn this into a tutorial .

Fred always has the right answers.... I just follow him around...

I actually don't pay much attention most of the time!

Fred Griffin taught me something here. Thanks for the question and thank you Fred for the font code!

I did not even know you can choose a different font type, I thought only the size. Good to know:) 

It depends. I see some of ya'll prefer 14 point.  I will take a look at different sizes and fonts. I use black most of the time. 

I generally use 14. I just like the way it looks. YOu can adjust your font while you are crafting your post. It's the font button. 

I definitely change the size, as the default is too small for most posts.

I just type it and print it, i gave up on font but need a lesson. I am happy so many good answers i can learn from

I usually use 14 in ActiveRain blogs.

I don't know that you can unless you go into the html section of the system.

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers - I use an external HTML editor - Kompozer. Works best, and I don't lose anything while writing a post for AR.

I have about a half dozen that I think are easy to read. I use them over and over.

I just like the Arial font

I cut and paste from Word with my normal font (unless I do something more creative) and change the size to 14.  I like keeping it simple

It depends upon the target audience.

I just use the standard font as it's easy to read...BUT, I change to 14 size as that makes it more legible for everyone.

I just use the default font.
