awesome — thanks so much. I did the above and I see that it is having effect on the sideposts titles — however, there is some strange visual effect: namely, the larger font-size is causing the vertical spacing of the title to become large, but the font characters themselves are staying the same size. A second issue is that when I try bold it has no effect, while when I try italic, it works OK. (perhaps that second problem will go away when it can display larger fonts, and at the small current font size, bold is identical to nonbold?)
any thoughts on why size only influences spacing? I tried inserting the CSS code both at the very top and at the very bottom of style.css.
THANKS MUCH
