I want to change the font in a Wordpress blog to Arial (from the default Times Roman). Reading up on it, it looks like I can only do that through HTML coding. Is that correct? There's no easy way to do it?
And the same goes for making the headline bigger? And changing the color of the text? Does all of that have to be done with HTML?

Are you using wordpress.com or wordpress on your own domain?
If you are on wordpress.com (website address is something like http://yoursite.wordpress.com) your kinda stuck with what you have. But if you are on your own domain you can edit the CSS style sheet, depending on which theme your using.
Go to 'appearance' and then 'editor' on the left column in CPanel.
Look for your style sheet in the right, usually titled 'style.css'. Click this
Now you should be able to change your style sheet font family for the different areas of your website...every style sheet is a little different but your going to look for an entry similar to this:
body {
font-family:...
...etc etc etc...
}
as for the size of your content titles, you are going to look for the css tags h1, h2, h3, etc. These are predefined heading style used, and size is usually defined in the form px or %.
Since each stylesheet is customized differently, its best to back up your style.css before editing, and then make a change, then verify them one at a time.How to change fonts in Wordpress?
Agree with PoorOne. Some themes actually allow admin options to change the font without having to actually edit the css.

1). If you are using wordpress.com, you have to pay extra to edit the font family.
2). If you have a selfhosted wordpress, you must edit the css file not the html file.To change from Times New Romans to Arial try do following:
- Backup your theme file first.
- Admin/Appearance/editor, look for style.css
-select all the code inside style.css and copy then paste it in notepad (or any other text editor)
- Find ';Times New Romans'; and replace all with ';Arial'; Once you are done, copy and paste it back in to your style.css in admin page.
It's in your CSS file. Go to the editor in the admin backend and slect theme editor and open your CSS file and find ';Body'; There will be where you can change the font style. :)
