Article Titles Larger?

That didn't work either.

Well, best then send us link when you put your site online.

I PM'd you the direct link. Thanks!

Ok, problem is that you have other H2 tags in same parent element as title. You can put something like this, but its css3 and some older browsers do not support that:

.content_pad > div > h2:first-child{
...
}

second workaround would require to put some jQuery in index.php of template.

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('.content_pad > div > h2:first-child').addClass('articleTitle');
});
</script>

then use

.articleTitle{
..
}

to style title.

Solution would be also to you replace in-article H2s with H3 then you could simply use:

.content_pad > div > h2{
...
}
