What even is Pika?

A pika is a small, mountain-dwelling mammal native to Asia and North America. A Pika is a pretty and easy and pretty easy blogging service by the team at Good Enough. You’re reading Pika’s Help Center.


How do I get started with Pika?

You can read all about how Pika works in our online manual.


How do I say Pika?

We built Pika saying "Pee-kuh" (pē-kə). It turns out the name of our little furry friend is a bit controversial. We're sticking with "Pee-kuh"–it just feels right!


Can I use my own domain for my Pika blog?

Yes! Custom domains are available for Pika Pro accounts. If you’re a Pika Pro, visit Settings and click on the Add a custom domain link. There are instructions there to help get you going, but if you run into any problems, do visit our custom domains help documentation that includes more details about how to set things up with common registrars.


Do you allow a list of posts, tags, or other custom variables to be included on a page?

Yes! Learn more about Pika variables in our manual.


How do I change the fonts on my site?

If you visit Settings > Theme you can choose from a few font themes that we’ve cooked up for you. If you’d like to define a different set of fonts, you’ll have to get into custom CSS. Enable this at the bottom of the Theme section, clicking Add custom CSS.

For instance, if you wanted to comic sans your whole site, we’re not going to stop you:

body {
--font-custom-headlines: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', cursive, sans-serif !important;
--font-custom-body: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', cursive, sans-serif !important;
--font-custom-meta: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', cursive, sans-serif !important;
}

Maybe you have some hot Google fonts that you’d like to use? Here's how to give it a go:

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Space+Grotesk:wght@400;700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap");
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Spectral:ital,wght@0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800&display=swap');
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,100;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;0,900;1,100;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,700;1,900&family=Spectral:ital,wght@0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800&display=swap');

body {

--font-custom-meta: Roboto, sans-serif !important;
}
