  Following instructions found here, http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/formatting-text-pt-5/ I changed the size of a post from beginning to end, with <div style=”font-size:120%;>
  TEXT HERE, ENTIRE POST INCLUDING HEADERS
  </div>
  The help page does advise not to change the size of the entire blog text, since others’ browsers may render it differently etc. I’ll take that risk until I hear from folks.

  But the headers did not increase in size, so they are now smaller than the body text, and the next-up header size is all caps and I don’t like that look.

  Is there a way around this, for the non-CSS person?

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

  The style of each (auto) heading is determined by the CSS of the theme – you cannot alter it unless you buy the CSS upgrade. You’ll have to change these:
  <h4>TEXT HERE</h4>
  to this:
  <p style="font-size:125%;font-style:italic;color:#888;">TEXT HERE</p>

  Thanks, panaghiotisadam, I was afraid that might be the case. I guess my other alternative would be to find a 3rd-party theme that matched my preferred fonts and sizes.

  If you are talking of third-party themes from outside wordpress.COM (not at appearance > themes in your dashboard) then you cannot use those. Themes from off the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs. We cannot add themes here.

  Okay, I’m glad you corrected me on this.Always a source of confusion, the .com and .org differences.
