QUESTION 3

I find that the text in my blog posts and on my pages is a wee bit too small. How can I increase the text size?

ANSWER

Go to your Template Editor page:

On the Template Editor page, look under Theme Assets for theme.css.liquid.

Click on theme.css.liquid to open that file in the online code editor.

At the bottom of the file, add this:

Save.

QUESTION 4

How can I add text to the grey box in my footer? 

ANSWER

That footer with the gray background is divided into three sections:

1. The section on the left is occupied by the abridged content of the page you have that has a handle equal to frontpage. You can add this page under Blogs & Pages in your admin. If you already have a page and you want its content to be used there, instead of what you have now, edit the handle of that page so that it becomes frontpage.

2. The section in the middle shows the abridged content of the latest (most recent) blog entry of the blog that has a handle equal to news. Again, you'll be able to edit this content under Blogs & Pages.

3. Finally, the section on the right is occupied by the abridged content of the page you have that has a handle equal to about-us. You can add this page under Blogs & Pages in your admin. If you already have a page and you want its content to be used there, instead of what you have now, edit the handle of that page so that it becomes about-us.

On the line after this HTML comment, add this:
