The Wordpress questions are starting to roll in. The first couple questions come from Stacey Macioszek stateofmindrealestate.com

Q. Is there a way to change the page order in Wordpress?

Yes, you can edit the page order by going to Manage->Pages. Then on the right you should see a section called page order. If you have not changed it for any pages they should all be 0

On a horizontal menu the higher the number the further to the right. So you can order your pages

1, 2, 3, 4
Or
10, 20, 30, 40
They would both have the same effect.

Q. Is there a way to lock the font size for my blog in any browser?  I found out by complete accident ( my 17 month old hit Fsomething while I was typing.) that when I adjust the text size at the view tab my font goes all wacky.  I tested other sites and some don't change at all and some adjust accordingly.

First, I want to commend you on introducing your children to technology at an early age, but I think trying to make your 17 month old blog for you is a little lazy, don't you think Stacy???

Anyhow, adjustable text size is a CSS thing. It is actually a good thing, even though it makes most blogs look "funky". This falls into the accessibility portion of internet browsing and gives people with poor eyesight the ability to read your blog. There are a couple ways to layout font sizes on a website

EM, PX, or percentage.

EM is adjustable, while PX is not…I think percentage is adjustable to but not sure. The only time I have seen percentage is in tag clouds, since EM and PX pretty much cover the 2 choices for font sizes (fixed and adjustable).

So to change your fonts from adjustable to fixed you can go into your style.css (most Wordpress theme stylesheets) file and change all the fonts from 1.2em (or something like that) to 12px (or something like that).

BTW
In Firefox, to make the fonts bigger and smaller, hold <CTRL> and hit the "+" and "-". I'm not going to tell you which one makes the font bigger adn which one makes the font smaller, you'll have to figure it out yourself. 

In IE, you can go to firefox.com and get Firefox (preferred method) or you can hit <F10>, then <v>, then <x> then use the up or down arrow to select font size.

Q. Is there a better text editor or plugin to help with writing posts?

I use Mudbomb's editor. You can get it at mudbomb.com
it’s nice…if you have trouble let me know, I’ll help you install it. It is just another plugin, but once you activate it, you have to go to your profile and turn off visual editing. That is the only special step I think you have to take.

There is also a table plugin for it so you can add tables to your posts.
