 * Hi. 🙂
 * I’m trying to change the text properties on my image captions. I’m able to change
   the alignment, border, even the font weight (etc.) here:
 * `.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text`
 * However, it doesn’t respond to actual text changes (e.g. font-size, etc) at all.
 * Firebug shows me it’s pulling that information from the CSS class:
 * `#content p, content li`
 * Unfortunately, to change those classes properties would force me to change the
   way all the text in the entire post displays. How can I change the caption text
   properties without changing the rest of the post?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

 * try:
 * `#content .wp-caption p.wp-caption-text { ... }`
 * or force your edits by adding `!important` – for instance:
 * `.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text { font-size: 20px!important; }`
