Hi Karen,

you can customize the div surrounding the entry title using the blog_head class, and the h2 where the title is placed using the h2.blog_title class, but the hiperlink will render using the a:link class and a:hover overriding classes.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Hi Karen,

I highly recommend using the Firefox Web Developer tool for troubleshooting CSS issues like this.  You just select View Style Information from the CSS menu on the toolbar after its installed and as you move your mouse around the web page the location of where the styles are set is written to a text area that is added to the left part of the screen.  The Web Developer toolbar is an add-in to Firefox that you can download it here if you're interested.  It has saved me hours of time and I think you'll really love it if you haven't had the chance to use it before.

Another feature of the toolbar is the ability to edit the CSS while you're looking at the page.  I used this to edit your CSS as follows:

h2.blog_title, h2.blog_title a
{
 font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
 border-bottom-width: 4px;
 border-bottom-style: dotted;
 border-bottom-color: #666666;
 margin-bottom: 5px;
 padding-bottom: 5px;
 font-size: 30px;
 text-decoration:none;
}

This has caused me grief before.  With CSS if you have an element that is a child of another element which has a class applied to it, you need to explicitly tell CSS that you want to apply your style to the child element.

HTH,

Don

Thank you, Don, that did it. 

I have been using Web Developer for Firefox since I saw you post about it elsewhere.  Very handy.

I appreciate your taking the time to help,

Karen
