   Hi there. I apologize that I am not expert at either CSS or wordpress.

   However, I have looked at my source and also your site and I see that I would really like to make one modification to the style sideposts-title, to make it bold (or more bold/larger if it already considers itself to be bold.)

   However, when I go in to the editor and look at the style.css, I can't see a place to modify sideposts-title.

   Can you tell me how to change it, for instance to make it bold, etc?

   thanks!
   eric

   Use the 'sideposts-title' CSS class. http://alkivia.org/sideposts/sideposts-2-4-2/

   .sideposts-title {
      font-size: 20px;
      font-style: italic;
   }

   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

   p.s. the page in question (currently showing the big spacing effect) is:

   Aha -- I fixed the "will not bold" problem -- I was stupid and had the CSS say something other than "font-weight: bold;" ... I think i had it "font decoration" or someting...

   If someone has an idea why font-size: 14px; only seems to increase the vertical spacing and not the characters themselves, let me know.

   THANKS! this is a great plugin that has made my site basically possible.
