 * I fixed some problems in validating XHTML, but after I did so, all of my italicized
   type in my posts is LARGER than everything else. It used to be the same size 
   as the Roman type, but now it’s larger.

 * It’s in a blockquote is that part, so..
    blockquote { margin-left: 10px; padding-
   left: 0; font-size: 10px; } adding the font-size like that will make it a wee
   bit too small – adjust to what you’d like 🙂

 * Thanks! What doesn’t seem to make any sense is why having validated XHTML would
   actually change the paramater of the blockquote. It also seems to have changed
   the font style as well.

 * But sometimes one error hides another, so as you correct, you find more ….. it’s
   happened to me before – I’ve had a page which looked great but which was actually
   a comedy of errors – all working nicely 🙂
    (pre-WordPress days of course!!)

 * I’m really getting frustrated…i added your code, then the text in the blockquote
   finally gets to the right size. But, it was the wrong font, so i added ‘blockquote’
   to the h1, h2, h3 section of my css, and that fixed the font issue. Now, all 
   the text runs together (i.e., there are no line breaks.) I’m really going out
   of my mind.

 * Thanks much Beel! That was it…I have no idea what I’m doing with php. I just 
   was getting used to perl basics when I switched to WP, and I’m totally lost.
