Changing Color and Font for Post titles

Hi Flynn,

On my test blog, http://www.ellifolks.com/testblog/ , I am trying to change the color of the post titles. I was able to change the font, but I can't get the color to change. Here is what I have for the Headline Box: text. Is that the right place for the post title color?

color: #FF4D4D;
background: #ffffff;
font-family: times new roman, georgia, garamond, serif;
font-size: .o8em;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;

Thank you. :-)

Ellen
