 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to change the font size of my <p> to no avail. It seems like this 
   should be easy, but o well.
 * Anyways, the page in question is here:
 * [http://www.drgoodvet.com/pet-pharmacy/](http://www.drgoodvet.com/pet-pharmacy/)
 * I’m trying to increase the size of <p> to 22px;
 * Also, I can’t determine where the CSS is coming from to make the font-size so
   small for <p>. Using Firebug (firefox) and/or Chrome’s Developer Tool, I just
   can’t find the rule that specifies the CSS’s font size.
 * My CSS (I’ve tried various configurations here):
 *     ```
       .entry .largetext p { font-size:22px;}
       .largetext p { font-size:22px!important;}
       .largetext p { font-size:22px;}
       ```
   
 * My HTML:
 * `<p class="largetext">We provide an <a href="http://drgoodvet.vetsfirstchoice.
   com/" target="_blank">Online Pet Pharmacy</a> fulfilled by our veterinary clinic

 * It looks like you have your CSS rules incorrect. `.largetext p {}` means that
   the rule will apply to any `<p>` tag contained within any element with the class`
   largetext`. If you want to apply a rule to any `<p>` tag with the class `largetext`,
   the rule would be `p.largetext {}`, or if you wanted to apply a rule to any element
   with the class `largetext`, the rule would be `.largetext {}`.
