Test of Inline CSS in WordPress.com Blog

Apparently, you can’t use embedded style sheets in WordPress.com, but you can use inline styles. In this post, I’m going to attempt to replicate one of my old CSS-styled HTML pages. I’ll start with my CSS Font Properties Test that I first published in HTML with embedded and inline CSS in February 1998. Here goes:

Daniel Greene’s CSS Font Properties Test

A Demonstration of CSS Font Properties

Property Value Display in Your Browser
Property Value Display in Your Browser
font-family serif The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
sans-serif The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
cursive The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
fantasy The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
monospace The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

[Remainder of table truncated]

Using the Shorthand font Property

{ font: 150% serif; }

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

[Other examples removed]

Well, it seems that inline CSS works just fine in a WordPress.com blog. I’m going to put the whole document into a blog post called CSS Font Properties Test.
