probably a stupid newbie question, but...

1) I've checked "hide" on category/section titles in the article manager...  so why are they still showing up on the webpage?  (http://67.15.245.5/~jigsawcr/)

2) Since they are showing... I've looked in the CSS trying to figure out how to edit it to increase font size/weight (it looks funny to have a tiny little line above a larger article title).  Haven't figured out for sure what section applies...  none of the h1... h5 seem to be the correct one -- it looks like it's currently the same as the body text (12pt) and all of them are larger than that already... so where do I edit this?

thanks! Smiley

okay... i figured out #1:  I was using category blog on the menu and needed to go to the menu item and check off "no" on "show page title" under the system parameters.

#2) -- still confused and have added a similar question -- changing the font-size for h2 in the css doesn't appear to have any effect.   I wanted to make that larger, but don't seem to be able to?  or am i editing the wrong header -- from what i could read of the css it looks like the header with the titlebar icon would be h2....  Huh

what's really weird is i have the same css on my localhost as the online version and yet the localhost has a much larger font for the same headings on the page...Huh why??? and why can't I seem to adjust it???

sorry for the newbie questions... Embarrassed

Hello, there are many h2 settings in the css depending on where the h2 appears. If you're adjusting the content titles you need to look for contentheading in the template_css.css file and adjust the font size.

Thanks!  that worked!   Smiley

now...   Wink  I wanted to adjust the padding as well to bring the text down on the page a little (was looking too scrunched).  but the graphic didn't move down??? 

code:
Quote
table.blog .contentheading, h2 {
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    background:url(../images/titlebar.gif) no-repeat;
    font-size:1.6em;
    font-weight:bold;
    line-height:normal;
   padding-left: 25px;

okay... figured out moving the image (added 0px 20px to the right of the url reference)

but I have not been able to figure out how to change the regular article font size... i've tried both in the body section and in the s5_main section.  i can change it to 14, 18 20px, it doesn't matter -- it still displays the same.  i even tried 1.4 1.6em etc.  so i figure i've got to be looking at the wrong spot, but for the life of me I can't figure out where the right spot would be?

thanks! Smiley

It had a slightly unintended effect, though...  increasing the font-size in the article increased the font-size of the text on the top menu tabs and right-hand menu as well.  Didn't really want it on the menus (made my top tabs too long for one thing!  So I guess I'm stuck with the smaller font.

Other than that, the site is starting to look pretty good!  I really like the template for this site.... http://67.15.245.5/~jigsawcr/
