   I am looking to customize by post title color based upon what category the post is labeled. Each post will only have one category. For example, all posts under category A will have blue titles while all post under category B will have green titles.

   From what I've researched, I need to use functions which is something I've only just started to learn. Any help is much appreciated.

   I'm using the Twenty Eleven template if need to know.

   genral: if you plan to customize Twenty Eleven, create achild theme to work with: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

   Twenty Eleven uses post_class() in the posts;

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_class

   this adds a category dependant css class to the post div, which you can use in style.css (of your child theme) to format the titles;

   example:

   (for linked titles in the index and archive pages)
   .category-name-of-cat-A .entry-title a { color: green; }

   (for titles in single posts)
   .category-name-of-cat-A .entry-title { color: green; }

   try to get used to working with a tool such as Firefox' add-on Firebug to assist with identifying the relevant css selectors.
