I would like to customize my template so the home page has a couple sections that show the first 3 posts of a couple different tags. So far I have {{#all_entries}} {{#tagged.SomeTag}} {{title}} {{#tagged.SomeTag}} {{/all_entries}} But I'm not sure if I'm able to limit all_entries or access certain elements of the array with Mustache.

How to make images appear larger on the entry page in Portfolio template?

I'd like my images to appear larger on the screen when one clicks on them from the grid. I'm using the portfolio template, and couldn't achieve the result by playing with any of the template edit sliders. The images themselves are quite large (2000x long edge) and opening them in a new tab shows them much larger than they are on the entry page. I also tried uploading full-resolution 6000x4000 images and their size did not change. Thanks

How to change text color within a post?

I would like to set a color for particular sections of text in my post. The intended use would be something like: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; I want to make the bolded text red, and the italicized text blue. I am currently using the stock Blog template and uploading my posts as .docx files. (My bold/italics/underline and embedded images upload this way, but not text colors.) Where do I change my process to let me apply color to particular passages of text? Should I be uploading in a different file format, or modifying style.css in the Blog template?
