Changing Font in Blog Headings
Some people quickly get tired of the default font in their blog headings. Changing this font is quick and easy. All you have to do is copy and paste a section of code, and you're done. There is a large variety of font types to choose from, and you also have to decide whether to make your font serif or sans-serif. Serif fonts have little tails, which make the font look more fancy. This entire process will take about 5 minutes, and you will need a computer with internet access in order to complete this instruction set.

Acquiring Heading Font Code
Step 1: Copy the code found at this link.
Note: You should not copy the note at the bottom of the code.
Applying the Code
Step 2: Go to your blog, and place your mouse over the Design tab. Select Templates from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: Click on Stylesheet under the Index Templates section.
WARNING: Be extremely careful when navigating within the Stylesheet template. If any of the code gets changed besides what you will be pasting in, it can cause considerable changes to your blog.
Step 4: Scroll to the bottom of the code on the Edit Template page, and paste the code you copied there.
Step 5: Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save and Publish.
Changing Font Styles
Step 6: Go to the code you pasted in the Stylesheet. To Change the page title, highlight century gothic in the line of code in the brackets immediately after the "h1#page-title". Change this to the name of the font you want. You also have to change between serif and sans-serif, depending on what type of font you chose.
Step 7: To change the page heading, repeat Step 7 for the line of code in the brackets following the "a".
NOTE: When changing font names that are more than one word, you have to put single quotes around the font name within the code.
