   Hello WP gurus,

   I'm using the elemin theme with custom upgrade for my political-culture.com blog and have run into some obstacles.

   First, I would like to make the post titles smaller and the widget titles on the right (recent posts, categories, etc) larger, but they are both h1 headers. If I make the first smaller, the second become microscopic. I wasn’t able to find anything in the css that could explain the size difference if they’re coded the same. Can you help?

   Second, I’d like to make the “leave a comment” link text larger and maybe a different color so it doesn’t disappear on the page (at the bottom of the tags and categories). What I tried was changing the font size under “Post Metadata and Post Format Icons”:

   .entry-meta a {
   font-size: 13px;
   font-style: normal;
   font-variant: small-caps;
   text-decoration: none;
   }

   but that made all of those tags, etc. larger, too, which defeated the purpose. Can you recommend something I could try?

   Thanks for your help!

   The blog I need help with is political-culture.com.

   You have the heading size set to "-5" on the Appearance → Custom Design → Fonts page and that's crazy tiny for widget titles. :)

   Try adding this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor to just target those:

   #secondary .widget-title {
   	font-size: 16px;
   }

   Try this:

   .entry-meta .comments-link a {
   	color: #f00;
   	font-size: 140%;
   	font-weight: bold;
   }

   Adjust the percentage and change out the color code as needed.

   Thank you so much, and Happy New Year!

   Those suggestions took care of the problems. Before, if I made the widget titles a normal size, the post title was billboard sized.

   The 0to255 website will be very helpful since I feel like experimenting with colors these days.

   If you have time for one other question, I tweaked the email subscribe button a few days ago by copying someone's modification for a different blog theme. It worked for elemin but changed the shape from rounded corners to a regular rectangle.
   I couldn't see in the style sheet where to change the elemin button color, which has a nicer shape that I'd like to keep.
   I could post this question under a different topic if necessary.
