Changing Category Header

    Is it possible to change the header for categories through CSS? I can’t find the option in the dashboard and noticed the text for the title is coded into the HTML. So when I title a category “Articles” when you navigate to the “Articles” category, it’s titled “Category Archives: Articles”. I would like to get rid of those two words or at least “Archives”. I am assuming nothing can really be done about this since it’s in the HTML, but if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

    PS: Didn’t WordPress used to let you modified HTML or was that solely in posts? If so, why did they get rid of that ability?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Paste this into the CSS editor: 

    .category .page-title {
font-size: 0;
}
.category .page-title span {
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 1.4em;
}

    Change the 24 to adjust the size.

    No, on wordpress.com you cannot modify the HTML of the theme. You can add HTML and inline CSS in the content of posts, static pages, and text widgets.
