First Question: I can no longer make a mouseover work in my posts?

Secondly: I would like to change the body of my post fonts to Comic
Sans Serif?

What effect you want on mouseover? Which browser and version are you
using?

If your reader does not have that font installed on his/her computer
he will not be able to read your posts.

I am messing with different blog elements, so it's a bit shabby at the
moment. The mouseover on my http://littlebits.blogspot.com posts work.
I couldn't get one of the same (the THEN and NOW post) to work on
http://iweararedhat.blogspot.com so wound up deleting it. The rest
also work on that blog. Now I can't make mouseovers work on any new
blog I create. I think it may have something to do with the new HTML/
Compose feature?

I see where I changed my sidebar fonts to ComicSansSerif--in the var
lines in Dashboard, Layout, Edit HTML. Could I insert a code in there
to change fonts in body of posts? If so, what code?

Try adding the font line in this code :

.post {
margin:.5em 0 1.5em;
border-bottom:1px dotted #cccccc;

font: normal ComicSansSerif;

padding-bottom:1.5em;
}

OMG, I got it to work, but I am sooooo confused.

In my "http://littlebits.blogspot.com" blog, I added the font line you
gave me in the section below: (didn't work in .post section)

body {
background:$bgcolor url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v115/
lpalta/Saved%20Graphics/geeenpolkadots.jpg);
margin:0;
color:$textcolor;
font:x-small Comic Sans MS;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
text-align: center;
}

and added this line to the var codes:

<Variable name="postbodyfontont" description="Post Body Font"
type="font"
default="normal normal 78% 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet,
Arial, Verdana, Sans-serif" value="normal normal 78% 'Trebuchet MS',
Trebuchet, Arial, Verdana, Sans-serif">

THEN, I check my "http://iweararedhat.blogspot.com" html--neither of
the above lines of codes appear, yet it is working?

I am using same browser and version as before, Firefox version 3.5.3.
Older posts mouseover's work. Just can't get it ones to work on new
posts--using same lines of code. Could things have changed owing to
the new Compose/HTML was implemented?
