I'm a newbie, could you tell me how to change the font style , say to gill sans? I'm guessing it would be in the style.css file, but I could really use some advice.
Thanks...

Anonymous (not verified) commentedDP,
The fonts are specified in
html.cssin this block of code (should start around line 24):For a set of fonts that resemble Gill Sans, you could change the
fontline to:Remember to put quotes around font names that have two words, and always include a list of alternatives that ends in the generic (such as
sans-serif).Here's an article you might find useful on picking your CSS font stacks: Better CSS Font Stacks.

sciencegenome commentedWOW! Thanks for the very fast response, I appreciate it, you rock! Would you also happen to know how I could capitalize the first letter of a menu title in my primary links which appear at the top of the page? For some reason this theme won't let me do that. Thanks again!!!

Anonymous (not verified) commentedThe theme uses a text transform in CSS to render headers and menu items as lowercase.
You will need adjust the CSS selectors for whatever elements you want to change by adding this attribute:
text-transform: none;You can find more information on the text-transform property here:

sciencegenome commentedOne last question if you'd be so kind, Im trying to display the footer text to be horizontal with some bullets, so as to display like :Niwot Pilates Studio • 7101 LaVista Place, Suite 101 • Niwot, Co 80503
... but currently its displaying vertically like:
# Niwot Pilates Studio 7101 LaVista Place, Suite 101
# Niwot, CO 80503
# (303)652-1300
Do you know how to make these bullets in the footer display horizontally?
So much Thanks,
DP

Anonymous (not verified) commentedI'm not sure what underlying HTML you're using to create that address text. If you're using an unordered list (
ul), you will need to write some CSS to make the list items inline elements.The easiest way is to use the HTML bullet entity to place a bullet in the text. For example:
Niwot Pilates Studio • 7101 LaVista Place, Suite 101 • Niwot, Co 80503If you're placing this text in the block region above the footer, the text is always going to wrap because blocks in that area are only 1/4 the width of the page.
