  I would like the fonts of the Page titles and post titles to be darker in colour than they are are at present. I’d like them to resemble those of Twenty Ten. Is that possible?

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

  Hi there,

  If you are into fiddling about with font families, sizes and/or colors on each and every post you make by using the Text editor (HTML editor) then you can change it in the body text in posts and pages. But for changing it in Titles and widgets you need to purchase an upgrade.

  The custom design upgrade you need applies only to a single blog and that upgrade can no longer be purchased individually for any new blog. To have a custom design upgrade on a blog that does not already have that upgrade now requires purchasing either a Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ or a Business bundle. http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

  WordPress.com sells bundled Premium http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ and Business upgrades http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ which include custom design upgrades in the bundles.

  We can only “preview” changes that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase an upgrade bundle.

  If you have not purchased the upgrade bundle which includes a custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

  If you have purchased either bundle of upgrades then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

  Oops! I see this thread is already posted in the CSS Forum and assume you have the required upgrade. Please be patient while waiting for CSS editing help.

  Go to Appearance > Customize > CSS and paste this into the text box, you can change the hex value to pick whatever colour you like.

  .entry-header .entry-title,
  .entry-header .entry-title a {
    color:#f00;
  }
