  Gee, I was sure I was able to increase by hitting the button right next to the font style. Anyway, thanks for everyone’s help. I very much appreciate it.

  That is the Format button which Tess has patiently explained above is not to be used to increase or decrease font size. Doing that is a very bad practice. It’s for Heading tags and they have significant meanings to search engines.

  The bad news is that some WordPress.com bloggers are using heading tags in their blog posts and pages just to make some text large or bold or colored, and doing that undermines the excellent SEO built into WordPress.com themes.
