Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.
Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.
It is created. Sorry, I forgot to mention. http://webdesignsbyliz.com/joeytamer/blog
Does this help?
You should be able to adjust the size of the comment box using CSS. Try adding something like:
#respond textarea {width:80%;}
to your child’s stylesheet.
What about if I wanted to change the labels? In the Twenty Eleven theme, the labels for the users not logged in is pretty large, and takes up most of the screen on a small monitor, like a laptop. Is there a way to make these smaller?
Or the text fields maybe? I’m not sure which would need to be edited. You can look at the blog page and see what I mean about how large they are. http://webdesignsbyliz.com/joeytamer/blog
What about if I wanted to change the labels?
If you want to change the text size, you can do this via CSS again. I recommend using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of work.
If you want to edit the content of those labels, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form

Hi,
I want to resize the comment box as well. I have a TwentyEleven child theme btw. Running WP 3.3.
I managed to resize the width of the box with this rule:
#comments {
width:70%;
}
But I can’t seem to adjust the height of the commentbox. Most importantly the height of the textarea. I’ve tried stuff like:
#respond textarea #comment {
height:200px;
}
And variations. But the height of the comment box seems calculated. And I can’t figure out where or when.
Any help?

Where is the file to adjust the comment form in the TwentyEleven theme? I need to make the comment input box itself smaller. Can anyone either tell me where to find the appropriate file to edit or what code I can implement into my CSS that will accomplish my goal? Thanks in advance!
