    I ran into formatting problems using the new "Text Content Block" formatting options are very limited.
    I created a HTML block instead and inserted my text there
    To change font size and color I used: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
    Change hex code and font % to suit
    Someone will jump in with the correct syntax for changing font .... you might want to indicate what font you want to use.
    My opinion does not necessarily make it true. What you do with my opinion is entirely up to you.

    Huh? In the New SmugMug if you add CSS to your Advanced Theme settings CSS section it applies to all pages. I really don't ever use CSS blocks on my New SmugMug page.
    I would do this IF it only applies to a specific theme. Any content change should be in site wide CSS
    so it can apply to all themes in case you use a different theme somewhere.

    ... and I showed you how to change the size (<span style="font-size: 160%;"> ..........<span/>)
    I added the code for font color just in case you wanted to do that further down the track
    And also indicated some-one else would pipe in with the font.
    I also suggested you mention which font you want to use because sometimes implementing particular fonts is more problematic.

    Could try:
    <font face="Georgia, Arial, Garamond">This paragraph has had its font...</font>

    but as I said if you are using less than common/web safe fonts, you will need extra code.

    You have created a new page called "About Me"?
    You have a nav bar with an "About Me" entry?
    Then say on home page go:
    "Customize > Entire Site"
    Click on the Nav bar - it should go red
    In the dialogue box, click on the "Links" tab
    Go down the list until you come to "About Me"
    Click on the "edit this item" arrow ... looks like this >
    On "Link to" ... choose "Custom url"
    Browse your way in "organiser" until you find your prepared "About Me" page
    Click your way out saving the settings ... Done > Done > Publish now

    ... unless I am misunderstanding what you are asking

    So are you referring to your new site? Because it doesn't wok on your legacy site either.

    I finally linked up my About Me page by deleting the About Me link and creating a new one. Next problem - I'd like to have my website name and email address in the upper left of every page ... I don't know how to get two lines of text there and what I have there doesn't fit into the allowed space - it gets cut off ...

    I hear a lot of people warn that putting your email address out like that may attract spammers and hackers. I don't know enough about that myself.

    As to your request, you could make an image of your name and address, and put that in the upper corner, instead of text. Either way, you should be able to drag a text block, or a photo (in the case of an image) from the right column of content blocks, into your site. Choose where you want to drop it first, entire site, home page, folders, or "just this page" if you are trying to customize one page or gallery.

    Drag the block of your choice from the right side, with your mouse, to the upper corner. Move the mouse/block around, looking for areas to highlight. There will be vertical and horizontal highlighted bars showing you the locations. Both on the sides, tops, and bottoms of whatever blocks you already have on the page. Drop it in place. Then tweak the margins and sizes and settings as needed.
