  Many of my blog’s readers are seniors — baby boomers.
  This is the largest segment of the U.S. population. Can we help them?
  They complain of the small sized fonts in the blog articles.
  The headlines and titles are fine, but I cannot find a way
  to increase the size of the font in the body of the articles.
  If you cannot accommodate, I will have to go back to blogspot.
  Please advise. Thank you.

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

  You can specify this content’s size with CSS:

  /* Adjust Post Font Size */
  .post p {
    font-size: 1.5em;
  }

  Hmmm…now that I think about it,

  How do I change font colors within the same post?

  For example, if the post has three paragraphs and I want one of the three, say the middle one, to have a contrasting colored font.

  Thanks!

  You could use something like this:

  /* Set Background Color for Even-Numbered Post Paragraphs */
  .post-content p:nth-child(even) {
    background: green;
  }

  Thanks.
  I want to change the color of the font itself, not the background.
  No luck with the forums.
  Regarding your suggestion above, if I change “background color” to “font” would that work?

  Try this:

  /* Set Font Color for Even-Numbered Post Paragraphs */
  .post-content p:nth-child(even) {
    color: green;
  }
