  How do I reduce the default font size of all of my blog posts?

  I know I can amend in individual posts using html. But is there a way to override the theme’s default font size so I don’t have to do this every time?

  I’m using Illustratr theme and the text in the posts is way too big.

  Thanks.

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

  Hi there.

  If you want to override the theme’s default font sizes you’ll need to purchase the custom design upgrade at $30 a year. Full information here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

  There are a few different ways you could reduce the font size in the Illustratr theme. The first would be to reduce all the fonts uniformly by a percentage. Here is an example:

  body {
  	font-size: .8em;
  }

  This basically resets the base font size to 80% of what it was before.

  Here’s another possible example that will just affect the base text size in posts, pages, and portfolio posts:

  .entry-content,
  .page-content {
  	font-size: 80%;
  }

  Note that adjusting the font site-wide this way may make it so past adjustments you’ve made per-post make the font look too small in some cases. The best route to fix those, in my opinion, would be to remove the per post modifications so you can adjust text size with CSS only.
