    i’m using touchfolio theme. the blog page is where posts show up. i’d like to change the way it looks. i’d like to make the images larger and not be able to click on them, also make titles smaller.

    can anyone tell me what file usually controls this stuff? i might be able to figure it out once i get in there, but i don’t know where it is.

    thanks!

    “touchfolio” is not be found in the WP free theme repository.
    So, I suggest you contact the theme’s developers.

    not so easy to get a response. so there’s no usual place for this kind of thing?

    – You can try switching to the WP default theme. If you don’t have access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.
    – Alternately, you can select a theme from the WP free theme repository: http://wordpress.org/themes/

    This plugin might come in handy –

    At least some of what you are asking about is CSS –

    thanks for the suggestions. i installed “what the file” but it doesn’t seem to work with my theme.

    yes, i’m new to css and trying to figure out which css file controls how the posts page looks. surely there’s a file where this info usually is that isn’t theme specific?

    No, CSS is entirely theme/site specific. But a browser tool like Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools will show you the CSS for any element on the page. Then COPY that CSS to a child theme or custom CSS option (or plugin) and change it there.
