Big First Letter

Step 1.

• Go to the page element => Design => Edit HTML
• Find  /* Posts (By pressing F3 or CTRL+F and paste /* Posts will help you)
• Copy and insert below code

.dropcaps {

float:left;

color: black;/*#FFFFFF;*/

font-size:45px;

font-family: "Arial";/*Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; */

font-weight: bold;

line-height:30px;

padding-top:0px;

padding-right:5px; }

What is it mean?

.dropcaps { 

float:left; color: dark blue;/*Color of your choice*/ 

font-size:60px;/*change this of you want to to span across more lines*/ 

font-family: "times bold italic";/*Font of your choice*/ 

font-weight: bold; line-height:30px;/*how thick you would like alphabet to be*/ 

padding-top:0px; padding-right:6px; }

 Step 2.

• On your panel, go to Edit HTML (beside the Compose tab)
• Insert below code at the first letter of your post. 

<span class="dropcaps">B</span>

•  For example your first sentence is "Blogspot is free". So the code is 

<span class="dropcaps">B</span>logspot is free.

• All post you want to have a big size for the first letter need to add this code.

Lets try.... if you have found another method, please leave comment.
