Wordpress inline styling help please? Options

[mystic12]

Hey guys, I would like to style certain things on my new WP site: My Webpage
I would prefer if I can do this without CSS? First issue with this WP theme is the contrast between text and page background, if you can look at my original site here please: original html site
You will notice that the text looks much sharper than in my existing WP site, what would I need to do to have the WP site's text and background look like my old site please?

[jimlongo]

In either case it's done with CSS. .

I'm guessing that you're talking about the main body text which is darker in the original

In the case of your old site there is no styling on the body text, it seems to just use the browser's native style.

In the new site the color is set in the body.
body{color:#6a6a6a;}
change it to {color:#000000;} and it should be closer to your original

The file is style.css in your child theme folder.

Cool Jim [thanks], looks much better now!

Next I would like a little more space between the two Services titles in the Sidebar so I but 2 break lines between them like this shown below in bold:
<li>Tune Up $50</b></li>
<li>Upgrading $50</b></li>
<li>Keyboard Replacement **Depending on model* $50</b></li>
<li>Computer Tutoring, by the hour or per questions. Can be done by phone, email.</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<tr>
<td><strong>OUR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDE:</strong></td>
</tr>
<ul>

but it does not change?

[jimlongo]

would need to see more, it's not clear what the table holds.

But I suspect you need to close a table then start a new one. Then you could put space between the 2 tables with <br>s or something.

CODE

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <h2>
                Some stuff
            </h2>
            <ul>
                <li>
                    item 1
                </li>
                <li>
                    item 2
                </li>
            </ul>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <h2>
                Some other stuff
            </h2>
            <ul>
                <li>
                    item 1
                </li>
                <li>
                    item 2
                </li>
            </ul>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

sorry, doesn't work, this is not that important so if it can't work then no worries.

[jimlongo]

then use inline styling on the second table.

<table style="margin-top:20px;">
<tr>
<td><strong>OUR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDE:</strong></td>
. . . .

[mystic12]

That works, thanks1

[mystic12]

I am seeing one more issue with the sidebar, these 4 items:

Computer Tutoring, by the hour or per questions. Can be done by phone, email
Installation or transfer of music on ANY device! [PC, Mac, laptop, chip, tablet, ipad, iphone, Android or ipod]
Installation of DJ or Music entertainment systems for both DJ and Home Entertaining!
Music Services for DJ’s and Events

are showing within the first set of services with the pricing but they are physically located inside the 2nd set of services below, this is where they should be seen, I can't figure out why, help?

[jimlongo]

you have

CODE

<table style="margin-top:20px;">

<ul>

<tr>
<td><span class="portfolio">Upgrade or Repair Hardware</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="portfolio">Laptop Windows O/S Installations</span></td>
</tr>
...

yet you're putting some items in a list and others in an additional table.

try

CODE

Alright, got it, fixed it thanks! Only one more styling issue on the HOME page which is the names in the Nav bar, it looks a little small, I am not seeing the tab names in the Header file? How/where can I increase the text size of the page names please?
