   I want to change the size of the post titles. I understand how to change font size in CSS (using font-size), but what reference is used for post titles? H3?

   post titles are h1:

   .entry_header h1
   {
   }

   Trying to change the color of post titles now, and the CSS is not working as I expected. I have...
   
   .entry_header h1
   {
   color:#320000;
   }
   
   This changes the color of the post titles for **individual post-pages** only---but NOT for the home page. The home page still displays the old color. Only when the post title is clicked (and the invidual page visited) can you see the new color.
   
   How do I change color for post titles--so that the color is displayed on both the home page and the post page?

   in post listings, you should be doing:

   .entry_header h1,
   .entry_header h1 a,
   .entry_header h1 a:visited
   {
     color:#320000;
   }

   Denis, you are wonderful. Thanks for answering my 5 CSS questions. Everything's looking great now.
   
   One final question, how do I change the color of the post titles on mouseover? When a mouse is rolled over the post titles, I want the color to change.
   
   Will this work?
   
   a:hover,
   .admin_link a:hover
   {
   color: #xxxxxx;
   }
   
   What does .admin_link refer to?

   for post titles, you'll need to be a little bit more expicite to the css parser:

   .entry_header h1 a:hover,
   .entry_header h1 a.admin_link:hover
   {
     color: pink;
   }
   

   .admin_link refers to the Edit link that appears to users who can edit links.

   Update: When I add the code above (minus the .admin_link secton), I don't get a different color on mouseover.
   Instead, I get post titles appearing one color on the homepage, and thena different color on individual post pages.
   
   Here's the CSS I've got...
   
   /* Specify the color of post titles */
   
   .entry_header h1,
   .entry_header h1 a,
   .entry_header h1 a:visited
   {
   color:#990000;
   }
   
   
   /* Specify hover color */
   
   .entry_header h1 a:hover
   {
   color:blue;
   }
   
   What am I doing wrong? I want the color of the posts to be blue when moused over. Right now, the posts titles are blue on the homepage by default (without the user hovering over).

    When I use the above code on my dev site, I get:

    • Red text/links on the front page and on the post's page
    • Blue text when links are hovered

    Isn't this the expected behavior?

    Sorry Denis. My fault. It must have been cached. All is well, thanks.
