Yep. You can change this in, uh.........html_header (I think). Although, It should be calling from your custom template, when selected from the Admin.

I am lost looking at the html_header.

Here is what it looks like...

Was your site fully completed before you "lost" it? I'm seeing stuff like Tag Line Here, HEADING_TITLE, and TEXT_GREETING_GUEST, which looks like there may be more problems than just that. Looks like there may be some corrupted files.
By, any chance did you back up your site before the move?
If so, you might want to compare some of those that's been mentioned here.

I never "lost" the site, I am a new zenner and am trying to get my store up and running, so that is probably why you are seeing stuff like Tag Line, Heading_Title,etc. I did have my logo.jpg image up as well as, my headling title and text greeting guest.

Okay- I finally got the site the way I want, BUT now I don't know how to change the text color in the following words: returning customers please log in, Company details, etc This text is currently blue.

This is found on my login page. Go to http://digidollardays.net/store/inde...ain_page=login

Any help would be appreciated:)

TIA

Digi, I'm sorry that I wasn't here to help more, but I work right by my house, and I had 2 go right after my last post.
I see you got it up and running. Looking good. I"m guessing that you also resolved the text color problem, by now, as I'm not seeing blue text.
Now, it gets fun, and I mean that in a good way, as if you're like me, I really enjoy all the customizing, adding the different mods, boxes, and just over-all, making everything my own.
So, have fun, and NEVER be afraid to ask ANY question about ZenCart (see my signatur) to this wonderfully, helpful, and 99% of the time, friendly forum of people, as the answer is ALWAYS eventually found by someone.

BTW, if you haven't already checked it, you'll be happy to know that the speed report for your site showed that the total download time for your home page is only 9.02 seconds (recommended 8 or less) over a 56k connection, with only a couple of size warnings:

TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 13 - consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.

CSS_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your external CSS is 13393 bytes, which is over 8K. Consider optimizing your CSS for size by eliminating whitespace, using shorthand notation, and combining multiple CSS files where appropriate.

Not bad. Good job. Nice looking site (now, huh?)
Have you considered using Image Handler for your images? You've got some nice images that Image Handler would would accent with hover pop-ups on your home page. If you haven't saw it work, click here, and see what I'm talking about.

But, anyway, I'm proud to see that you've got everything up and running.

Thank you for the compliemts. I thought that the site turned out okay:) There are still some adjustments to make.

I appreciate all your help. I am sure that it gets tedious tryinh to help a newbie, but I am grateful for your patience.

I do have a couple of quick questions...

1. How were you able to check the speed? As in this quote

BTW, if you haven't already checked it, you'll be happy to know that the speed report for your site showed that the otal download time for your home page is only 9.02 seconds (recommended 8 or less) over a 56k connection, with only a couple of size warnings:

2. What editor are you using to check the ToTal OBJECTS and CSS Size? I only use notepad, so I am not sure where you are finding this info..but I do find it helpful. Thank you.
