 * This was discussed in a previous thread, but I can’t find it so my apologies 
   for starting fresh. We weren’t able to resolve it before because the site wasn’t
   public. Now it can be seen [here](http://barlowstrategies/blog/). The h2 tag 
   has been styled but for some reason it is not affecting the post title on the
   blog page. If you click on it so you are on the page for the post itself you 
   can see what it should look like.
 * At the moment it has a style applied for `h2.entry-title` for something excessive
   like 40px but nothing I have tried has worked. Now that you can see it I am hoping
   you can spot the needed fix.
 * thank you!

 * the size of the post title on the blog page might be styled via the link tag;
 * the link size is styled by (not the actual code from style.css but as seen by
   a browser inspection tool):
 *     ```
       /* Line 224 */
       a
       {
         color: #69ad8b;
         font-family: "Helvetica";
         font-size: 14px;
         font-style: normal;
         font-weight: 400;
       }
       ```
   
 * add a new style, like:
 *     ```
       .entry-title a { font-size: 1.813rem; }
       ```

 * Just as Michael posted, your custom link size was set at 14px, so this is affecting
   everything else that is a link that does not have a specific size already set.
   In this case, the post summary title has a font size set for the `<h2 class="
   entry-title">` of 1.813rem but the title itself is a link, so the title does 
   not inherit the <h2> size, it inherits your new 14px size… Technical I know…so
   what you want to do what Michael posted:
 *     ```
       .entry-title a {
          font-size: 1.813rem;
       }
       ```
   
 * That will put it back to the original size that was set for the .entry-title

 * Sorry for the delay. This fixed it.
 * Thank you Michael & Shaped Pixels 🙂
