I like drop caps in my
wordpress blog entries - though I don't bother with a blog software on
this site I do use it on others. Doing a drop cap or
"big first letter" is easy, it's built into css/html
-- but you need to add a tag to every single post. No
problem, a plugin can
do it.
Download
Download the plugin here
(1K, right click and save as).
Install
Unzip the file and copy it to your wp-content\plugin
directory
Edit your theme style; by default that's in wp-content\themes\default\style.css
and at the end add this:
P.BigFirst:first-letter {
color: #990000;
font-size: 3em;
float: left;
padding-right: 0.1em;
}
From the plugin management screen activate it
Usage
That's it now it's working. You might want to
change the color line in the theme.
Limitations
Exact positioning of the drop cap depends on the browser,
so Firefox and IE are not exactly the same. but both
look ok (ish).
Support
Don't expect much! But you can try posting a
message in the Support forum (click tab at top of this
page)
Warrantee and guarantee
Absolutely none!
Cost
Zero! But if you use it on your site I feel it
would be polite to link back to here, maybe post a blog
entry saying what plugins you use. Thanks.
