What is the purpose of woodblock printing?
Although I'm no expert on the subject, I did a fair amount of block printing back during the 60s and early 70s. To begin to understand the process, first think of a small cube of wood, say two inches by two inches, by two inches. Also imagine that the faces are sanded so that each is a smooth flat plane [this is important so that all of the image gets transfered to the printing paper]. Then imagine [actually you can practice this explanation to help your understanding] pressing one of those smooth faces firmly onto an ink pad, like is used for office stamps, to get the face "inked up." Then firmly press that inked face onto a clean sheet of paper. When the block is removed, there will be a two inch square image [the full face of the block] imprinted on the paper. Now imagine drawing a one inch diameter circle on one of the faces, and then, using an Exacto Knife, or any other method of cutting away of the wood, and trim off about an 8th of an inch of wood, all around the outside of the circle. That will leave a round flat surface standing above the newly cut face of the block. When that face of the block is inked, as in the first example, and again pressed onto the sheet of paper, it will leave an image which will be a round, fully filled in circle. Now imagine cutting a star pattern and a rectangle pattern on another face of the block. The inked image from that carving will be a star and a rectangle printed at the same time. Using this technique, amazingly fine art prints can be made. The only critical points to this basically simple process are: 1. The "printing," or contact surfaces of the different images on the same face of the block MUST be in the same smooth plane in order to fully and evenly transfer the ink [image] when pressed to the paper. 2. Also, if doing any object for which left to right orientation is necessary [such as letters or numbers] the image must be reversed when applied and cut into the block face. Since wood can be difficult to carve, this process is often done more easily using special blocks which usually can be bought already prepared at art supply stores. These are called "linoleum blocks." You can make your own by gluing smooth linoleum onto smooth, flat faces of any size block you want. It is much easier to carve the linoleum face and to remove material where you don't want ink to be picked up and where you don't want ink to print on the paper. I may have forgotton to cover some points, but with luck, an expert will come along to improve this answer. Don't worry about screwing it up, for if you start with free, simple, plain wood blocks from thrown away wood scraps, you can't really "ruin" anything, so just play around with the process until you get the hang of it. Good luck.
There are lots of ways people change, from the pain of loosing someone through death. From the pain that we felt because someone hurt us or break our heart. From the pain when someone lied to us. In reality we all change because of someone, not because we wanted to. We do change because we are trying to put a "shield" in our self so we will not be hurt anymore.
What style is used to specify font size in a style?
You would specify the font size like so:
.myClassName {
font-size: 10px;
}
You can specify font sizes in:
- pixels (as seen above, by putting "px" at the end)
- points (think MS Word sizes, by putting "pt" at the end)
- ems (throw-back from printing presses, by putting "em" at the end)
- percentages (percentage of the inherited size, by putting "%" at the end)
Font size is measured by what?
Font size is measured in points. 1 point = 1/72 of an inch. 12 point font is 12/72 inches high.
72-point font is 1 inch high.
A 12-point font is larger than a 10-point font?
Points are an old unit of measurements. They are the smallest measurement in the typographic system of measure. On a modern system, a point is 1/72nd of an inch (or around 0.357 mm.)
On the screen, this gets a little murky. Inches are hard to translate to the resolution of a computer screen, and so points are kept mainly in an effort to make people used to the measurement system comfortable.
Originally, a font-size was measured from the top to the bottom of the metal backing on the printer's letter. Now, fonts are normally measured from the top of their ascenders (like the top of a "k") to the bottom of the descenders (like the bottom of a "j".) A 12pt. font is a font that can be measured at 12pts, or a little less than 3/16ths of an inch.
What button until the desired font size is displayed?
If you click the grow font button too many times and make the font size too big, you can click a keyboard combination until the desired font is displayed. On a PC, click the ctrl and the minus symbol at the same time. On a Mac, press the Apple key and the minus symbol at the same time.

What is the standard magazine font size?
There is no default font size, that is up to the browser.
The author of an HTML page can use CSS or HTML to specify a font size, but the browser can still override the author's wishes, for example if the user has set the browser to display extra large text.
The <font> tag is a deprecated way of telling the browser that the text contained between the tag and its closing </font> tag should have certain font properties. This tag has been replaced by the <span> tag in connection with CSS, but most browsers still support the old <font> tag for the sake of backward compatibility. Here are some examples of use.
<font face="Times New Roman">text</font>
<font color="red">text</font>
<font size="+1">text</font>
<font face="Arial" color="blue" size=7>text</font>
These three bits of markup could be done "correctly" using CSS as follows:
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">text</span> <span style="color: red;">text</span>
<span style="font-size: larger;">text</span> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: "blue"; font-size: xx-large;">text</span>

What does serif and sans-serif mean?
Serif and sans-serif refer to styles of fonts. A serif is a stylistic embellishment -- or fancy piece -- so serif fonts are fonts that have extra pieces while sans-serif (sans meaning without) are fonts that don't.
To see examples of the difference, you can take a look at the fonts on your computer, Times New Roman (with the tiny lines on the top and bottom of the upper-case "i" so that it doesn't look like an lower-case "L") is a serif font, while Arial is a sans-serif font.
Because the brain reads serif fonts more quickly, most novels are written in serif fonts and textbooks in sans-serif.

Just use the align="" attribute in the tag surrounding the text:

p { text-align: center; }
That will make every set of "p" tags centered.
