    Though not a programmer i can usually manage, given enough time, to get the code to do what i want it to do...not this time.

    I've tried repeatedly to change the Post Title Font both as a variable definition and within the template....size and color...with no luck.

    I started over, but every template i used...the same font size and color i don't want. So back to the first template...i've spent hours searching online and trying different things...nothing works.

    Does someone have the inclination to take a look at my coding and see what's going on? link to blog is http://carteblancheoui.blogspot.com/

    thanks if someone can take me out of my misery!

    I have to say that is one jumbled up template, but anyways seeing as you've spent hours searching, here's what you should edit to edit the post title's appearence:

    Inside the CSS find:
    
.post h3 a, .post h3 a:visited, .post h3 strong {
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
color:#FFF;
font-weight:normal;
}
.post h3 normal, .post h3 a:hover {
color:#333333;
}
    Code (markup):
    then alter colors font-sizes etc as required.
