Here's my wip site: avaritia.do.am

How can I change the font of the title text ( "AVARITIA"), its size and add another text below it, smaller, for a slogan?

Code

<header class="header">
<div class="logo-wrap">
<a class="logo-b" href="$HOME_PAGE_LINK$"><span class="logo-name">AVARITIA</span></a>
</div>

Thanks in advance.

laserist, for font family change, edit the span class of posted code.
example;

Code

<a class="logo-b" href="http://avaritia.do.am"><span class="logo-name" style="font-family:FONT;">AVARITIA</span></a>

And for another text below, just add the following directly after.

Code

Just replace "FONT" with the name of chosen font (must be a system font, or added to your site).

Thanks.

What about font size?
How can I set the spacing size between the main text and the text below it?W
What about boldness?
And finally how to set the spacing between the letters of the text?
Thanks.

Code

<a class="logo-b" href="$HOME_PAGE_LINK$"><span class="logo-brk"></span><span class="logo-name" style= font-family:"Arial";>AVARITIA</span>

laserist, for size, use

Code

style= font-family:"Arial";font-size:15px;

Edit the "15px" to your liking.

For bold, either use weight in the css, or simply add <b> tags around the site name, like "<b>AVARITIA</b>".

You should really search google for some html and css basics rather than asking the forum for support on every small thing.
This is pretty much the essentials for building a site.

See, the reason I chose uCoz was because it had default site templates and a "Site Builder", so I wouldn't need to code.
The site builder then turned out to be rather poor. I had an option to switch to Wix.com which has what I would call a real website builder, but I had already spent too much time with uCoz to throw it all away to learn the Wix builder and migrate to it.

So because I just wanted to change the appearence of some text and menus, I asked it here instead of learning some CSS or HTML, which if I had time for I wouldn't use hosting with a "Website WYSIWYG builder" and just download a free template and edit the source which I ended up doing with uCoz anyway.

And btw, adding the font-size like you showed doesn't change the text size.

laserist, uCoz isn't a system wherin you don't need to code to edit things. You don't HAVE to code, but to edit certain things you must use coding. Depending on what you want to change.

To be honest, Wix isn't a "real web builder. It's a drag 'n drop system, but any web designer/developer would say to not use it ever. I'm sorry you understood uCoz wrong. A wysiwyg editor is for posts and such, and rarely, and should never be used to build actual sites.

The font-size should work. Have you added it to the site? As far from what I can see on your source code you haven't.

Well I wouldn't want to start a debate on which is better, Wix or uCoz. It's just that I tried Wix and few others after discovered that uCoz's WYSIWYG tools aren't really "WYSIWYG" and the "builder" does very little. And I don't really care what website developers think, I don't know html/php/css but I've used Python and Lua for some non-web work and I don't think for a site like mine I need to spend any time on coding and Wix was able to customize all I wanted, and uCoz almost all. This is just my opinion. I'm going to stick to uCoz anyway because I've gotten used to it.

And sorry for not telling this, I was trying it on my real site, this one was just for learning uCoz and I was thinking of deleting it soon.
I still can't change size of font, space length between characters and when I change them via the old html way, the frame (banner) changes in size and I don't want that.

I'll apply the same changes to avaritia.do.am so you'll see what I'm doing wrong.

EDIT: Okay, size works now.
I guess all I need now is to set the spacing lengthbetween the characters on the second line ad the spacing length between the first and second line.

That, and prevent the changes in text size/font change the size of the banner (header).

Thanks a lot.
