    I am trying to make some fonts larger that are very small.
    If you look at the top of the page the links are small, side box names are small, if you click the links to the DLYC dock & room the text for the fees and slips wait list are also very small. I have been able to increase the headers but can not fine where to adjust these or if I can.

    I am also trying to remove the search box and button at the top with no luck so far. Move it I can but not remove it.
    Thanks for the help.

    For the links at the top, try this addition to the existing:

    #navMainWrapper {
    font-weight: 700;
    font-size: XXpx
    color: black;
    }

    Adjust to suit.

    For the sidebox headings, try adding this to the stylesheet:

    .leftBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading, {font-size: XXpx;}

    Adjust to suit.

    For the sidebox headings, this rule:
    stylesheet.css (line 104)
    h3.centerBoxHeadinghidden, h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.leftBoxHeadinghidden, h3.leftBoxHeading a, h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeadinghidden, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
    color: #333333;
    font-size: 1em;
    }
    overrides this rule:
    stylesheet.css (line 17)
    h3 {
    font-size: 2em;
    }
    and makes the headings small. You should separate the h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading, from the rule, as their font-sizes should not be altered in line 104.

    I haven't looked at other text yet, but there will probably be similar issues. You can find them yourself with Firefox and its Firebug extension. Right click -> Inspect Element with Firebug will show you all style rules that apply to a given element, including ones overridden by others.

    Whoever changed the Powered by Zen Cart link to this should not have done so. It is a claim that PCC Computer wrote the software that runs the site, which is false and unethical if not illegal. You are allowed to remove the Powered by link, but not change it.

    Replace the rule on line 104 with these two rules and adjust to taste:

    h3.leftBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading {font-size:1.5em; color:#333; padding-left: 0.5em;}

    h3.centerBoxHeadinghidden,h3.leftBoxHeadinghidden,h3.leftBoxHeading a,h3.rightBoxHeadinghidden,h3.rightBoxHeading a{font-size:1em;color:#333;}

    Hi gjh42,
    Thank You and RescoCCC for the replies,
    First I will start and say Sorry, I will correct the Powered by statement. I assumed it was for hosting advertising, it will be corrected.
    I will make the changes to the CSS page and see if I can get the desired change. Will follow up shortly.
    Thanks you again for advice.

    HI gjh42,
    I have applied your suggestion and it worked great on the side boxes.
    I tried using RescoCCC's suggestion to re-size the top links but it did not work. Tried to add it to existing and adding the font size portion to the existing NavMainWrapper statement. No difference either way. I have removed the Powered by line. Thank you again for alerting me to this.
    Site link is now here
