Re: How to change my website text size?

At the top of your stylesheet, find this...

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 65%;
	color: #000000;
	background-color: #e5edf5;
	}

Change the red number to something larger, perhaps 75 or 80%. Then have a look at your site. If you like it, you're done. If not, then you start to track down individual elements, like all H1 and H2 and H3 elements and change their sizes in the stylesheet. Basically you go through the stylesheet looking for all occurances of font-size and adjusting as needed.

But try the first thing I suggested first. It's easier. :yes:

Re: How to change my website text size?

Do you mean you changed 65% to 12px? I hope not.

People have written entire chapters of books explaining why this is not a good thing. But the simple reason is this: there is now a very good chance that your site looks completely different to some people in some browsers and operating systems. So you'd better go and check it out on different systems, different screens, and different browsers. You might be surprised.

Re: How to change my website text size?

Exactly what I said up in my first answer. Change the value of the percentage to something like 75 or 80, but leave it as a percentage.

Re: How to change my website text size?

Jeff... you should have some system in place where you can check your site in various browsers. Apart from Mac-dedicated browsers such as Safari (if you're PC based), you should at least have MSIE and FireFox (possibly Opera as well) installed on your machine(s) so you can test these popular platforms.

If you're not on Apple, get friendly with someone who is, and ask them to look at your site.
