Thanks a lot for getting back to me.

Yeah, I used !important after seeing it in another forum topic somewhere, but I still wasn't sure what the conflict was that required such a change, so thanks for the extra information!

I checked your site and I found you used !important to get the site title font side to change:

#site-title a {
    font-size: 72px!important;
}

That was needed because you had already changed the site title font size on the Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts page and the !important rule was needed to override that one.

Nice work!

I'm quite confused because this seems like such an elementary thing. I'm trying to increase the size of the title in twenty eleven but no matter what I do it stays the same. When I try to change other attributes like the color it works fine, just not the size. I increased the size of the title on hover and that worked fine as well.

I've tried clearing the browser cache that was not the problem.

This is a wordpress.com blog for which I've used a previously registered .org domain. This is all I've done to the Title CSS:

#site-title a {
color: #111;
font-size: 70px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

#site-title a:hover,
#site-title a:focus,
#site-title a:active {
color: #DE92C7;
font-size: 70px;
}
