On my blog here <adult URL removed > - my font is quite small (7pt). The problem I'm having is increasing it to my desried size. I'm trying to create the font-size used on another blog but the size you see on my blog is slightly smaller. Trouble is, if I go up a size to 8pt, it's then too big. It's almost as though the size I want is 7.5pt, but I know there's no such size. I've tried to identify the font on the other blog, and am pretty sure it's Arial, but I can't replicate its size on my blog. I've tried using persentage to size my font, but still no joy.

Also, how do I stop the border-bottom dividers you see on the sidebar stretching the full width of the table? I want them to come maybe 15% of the way. This is the block of CSS I'm currently using for the border:

.sidebar .widget, .main .widget {
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
margin:0 0 1.5em;
padding:0 0 1.5em;
}

I thought I just neded to add: border-length: 15%; but that just makes the border disappear altogether.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried px rather than pt?

pt are NOT meant for screen resolution. It is a print size

Use px (not really recommended) % or ems for screen font sixes.

there is NO border-length property, borders extend the full width (or height) of the element they apply to

Ah! Thank you very much, to you both. I will try px and em to see if I can get it how I want.

Thanks again.
