I am having an ongoing issue with my print on my price list. I have tried so many different things and I am not sure why the print still comes out really small. If I refresh the page, it goes to normal and then straight back to the small print. You can see the difference when you scroll down to my other packages and they are correct.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? This has been a nightmare for me...I've tried html< links but still no deal.

Many thanks. Here is the direct link: http://lighttouch.smugmug.com/gallery/169796

Give examples - and here is one:

<b><font size="+1">If there are only children for the shoot, the pricing is as follows:
</font>
<font size=+1>1 child $109/ 2 children add $25/ 3 children is equal to family pricing ($165)</font>

<font size=+1>Corporate Work:</font>
<font size=+1></font><font size=+1>Website Headshots $79</font>
<font size=+1>Shoots on location $180/hour
</font>
<font size=+1>(travel time not included)</font>

<a href="http://lighttouch.smugmug.com/gallery/719887"target= "_blank" class="email"><b><i><font size=+1>(What should you wear?)</font></i></b></a>
<a href="http://www.instantmoviesonline.com/show.php?id=3180"target= "_blank" class="email"><b><i><font size=+1> (View sample video of a family sitting)</font></i></b></a>

Why are you using font-html when CSS can do it much easier? Is there a reason?

I can't help, but I bet an html-expert could...

When you ask "Why am I useing font-html over CSS...I don't understand what you mean exactly. How would I do this price list in CSS? Remember, I am not versed in this stuff that well, I am surprised at where I am now! Thanks for your patience with your answer.

Also Andy, I just looked over your answer here and the codes you see above are the ones that are coming out small. And like you said, if there is a way to do this price page in CSS...please show me. Just take my first picture and description and give me an example....I should be able to apply it to everything. I just read up on that whole CSS PDF but not sure if that helped me here. I am getting better though lately.

make a gallery just like this, but with NO html in the captions, just your text. Then we can have some css time...

Al, I added the above to CSS and then do I add the other part at the top there to the actual gallery? When I added this to CSS above and then hit "update" my whole homepage went out of whack...so I deleted it. Not sure what I am doing wrong. thanks

Thanks...you are the man...
