  For some reason, I’m not having any luck increasing the font size of the regular body text in my blog. Using the ‘font-size’ declaration, I tried using both percentage as well as pixels, but I didn’t see anything change – and yes, I did purchase the CSS upgrade. I’m using the Pool theme.

  Any thoughts? Here’s the blog:

  you could try adding
  font-size: 1.3em;
  to this

  body {
  	background: url(images/bg.gif);
  	color: #333;
  	font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Bitstream Vera Serif", Utopia, "Times New Roman", times, serif;
  	margin: 0;
  	padding: 5px 0;
  	}

  and see what happens.

  ..if no luck, try adding the same to “entrada”. And 1.3 was just a random number..

  Thanks for the reply, but still no luck! I tried 2em to make a visible change (in both the body & entrada classes) but it looks the same.

  body {
  	background:url('http://trullinger.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/globe-gradient.jpg');
  	background-repeat:repeat-x;
  	background-color:#3399CC;
  	color:black;
  	font-family:"Corbel", "Candara", "Trebuchet MS", "Times New Roman", times, serif;
  	font-size:2em;
  	margin:0;
  	padding:5px 0;
  }
  
  .entrada {
  	font-size:2em;
  	clear:both;
  	overflow:hidden;
  	margin:0;
  	padding:0;
  }
