Today's Joomla Tip: Typography

Using your active template's CSS file you can set typography consistantly for the entire site. In particular, make sure the "Heading" styles are set to your preference. This way, when adding artical content you can set paragraphs as heading 1 though 6 with the confidence that style and colors will be maintained through all your pages.

In Joomla 1.5 go to Extentions -> Template Manager and select the currently active template (flagged as "Default"). Then click "Edit CSS", select the entry "template.css" and click "Edit". Here is an example of Heading definitions:

/* Heading */
h1 {font-size: 200%;font-weight: normal;color: #27AF4B}
h2 {font-size: 125%}
h3 {font-size: 125%;font-weight: normal;color: #27AF4B}
h4 {font-size: 115%}
h5 {font-size: 115%;font-weight: normal;color: #27AF4B;font-style:italic}
