I've been playing with the module.css trying to change the appearance of my 3.04 Blog module. However, I'm having difficulty determining "where" to change styles to actually affect the look/feel.

For example: below the title of a blog post, I would like the details including, "By <author> on <date> <time>" to be much smaller. However, nothing I change seems to affect this.

Is there someplace else I should be trying to manipulate this?

Any suggestions and/or guidance would be MUCH appreciated!

thanks, Jeff

Thanks Dario - I really appreciate the response to this. After doing some changes, I can see how this works for the Entry View. That helps.

However, the defaul sizing/etc. for the Blog View just doesn't seem to work for my site design/layout. Is there no way to change this? Otherwise, I guess that means my only alternative is to hide the blog and style the RSS feed on it's own as my "blog view".

Any suggestions?

thanks! - Jeff

Hi Jeff,

the text size in the ViewBlog control is handled in the blog_body class in module.css style sheet. You can alter this class to make it fit you website's text size.

Moreover, there's still one more way for you to style the size of the Author's name and Publishing date in the ViewBlog control and have it smaller than the Description. To do this, you need to alter the ViewBlog.ascx file. Locate the two label controls named lblUserName and lblPublishDate, and add them this attribute Font-Size="XX-Small". At the end your controls should look like this:

<asp:label Font-Size="XX-Small" id="lblUserName" runat="server" visible="false"></asp:label>
<asp:Label Font-Size="XX-Small" ID="lblPublishDate" Runat="server"></asp:Label>

Save the file and refresh the blog view in your browser, the text will appear much smaller than the Description, that is rendered using the blog_body class.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa
