confused about article title

Hi all,

I am trying to change to title font/size/color of my article title.
I keep ending up with the chapter dealing with titlepages, but I have
no title page just the article title at the top of my first page.

I tried the following:
<xsl:attribute-set name="article.titlepage.recto.style">
 
  <xsl:attribute name="text-align">center</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="color">#00009C</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">8pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:attribute-set name="article.titlepage.verso.style">

<xsl:attribute name="text-align">center</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="color">#00009C</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">8pt</xsl:attribute>


</xsl:attribute-set>

but the font size for my article remain giant. the color worked.

must I write a spec file just to change to size of my article title
font?

Thanks
Aaron
