 * How do I edit the font properties in the graybox that appears when you’re going
   to comment on a post? For example, it says:
 * `This entry was posted on Friday, February 25th, 2005 at 9:14 am and is filed
   under Uncategorized. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS
   2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. Edit this
   entry. `

 * I don’t know what gray box you are talking about since there are a lot of different
   themes out there and they all look different, but I’ll assume that you are talking
   about what I call the “post summary” at the bottom of the post in the Kubrick
   Theme.
 * The way to learn how to do this is to look at a test post in your web browser.
   From the menu choose VIEW > PAGE SOURCE. It will pop up a page with the generated
   HTML version of your page. Go through the code and look for the different ID 
   and CLASS names for the different sections on the page, looking specifically 
   for your “post summary” section that says “This entry was posted…”. It will have
   something like:
 * `<p class="postmetadata alt">
    <small>This entry was posted on Tuesday....
 * Then go through the `style.css` file in the `wp-content/themes/default/` folder(
   or change default to whatever folder your theme is in) and find the `style.css`
   file. Open it by double clicking on it and scroll through the file to find “postmetadata”,
   the style “selector” (name) for that section. You can make font size changes 
   there. BUT notice that there is a tag that says “small”. If you delete that, 
   and it’s matching closing tag, then your font size will be larger.
