  After purchasing the CSS upgrade, I have things almost the way I want them, except for one thing. I’ve increased the font in my sidebars to a readable size, but when I click on my individual categories, the resulting page of category info is displayed in the default (too tiny) font. Any clue as to how I might correct this using CSS?

  First off, it is best to use either em units or percentages when specifying font sizes on the internet. Pixels should only be used for margin and padding values and the like.

  Increase the font size in .entries. That is where the titles on the archives/category/tags pages are controlled. 1.6em seems to be about the same size as you have specified for the font size in the sidebar and in the posts.

  Thank you for clarifying the em/pixel situation. (I’ve corrected mine.) I’m still not sure how to actually use .entries within the style sheet. I’m a novice, so any successes I’ve had with CSS were a combination of w3schools and trial and error. ;)

  Add this to your CSS, or if you already have it in your CSS, modify the font size.

  .entries {
  font-size:1.3em;
  }

  Change the 1.3 to 1.6.
