So I am very new to all of this stuff so excuse my ignorance. I went to my ftp and opened up the file you mentioned. I have done this several times to no avail. I then find the line that I think needs to be changed and make the changes and save it. However when i open up the file again my changes were not saved and thus no changes made. Am i doing something wrong?
My site is http://www.teamstitches.com - www.teamstitches.com . You can barely read the category headings on the left menu bar.

Hi Cris, I'll take a look. A very useful way of checking and changing the CSS is using Firefox with the "Web Developer" add-in - You can change a copy of the CSS in real-time and see the impact directly on the real page. You can then save the CSS file you have chnaged and upload it to make it the actual one used by the site. I use it frequently. ------------- Editing ProductCart Code?

| Unfortunately I do not have Firefox. I can add stuff to my website through the control panel but am clueless on the behind the scenes stuff. |

OK, Try adding : #tsCategoryNav td { font-size:11px; font-weight: bold; } to teamstiches2008.css I placed it just after the #tsCategoryNav .title {} selector - seemd a sensible place to put it. ------------- Editing ProductCart Code?

There are other advantages to Firefox. It is faster. I used IE for doing the ebay addon, and it took forever to create listings. 5 minutes was normal. Firefox does the same task in less then a minute. I also like the way Firefox handles passwords. It does not only save it, like IE, is also lets you look at actual passwords. No more *** guesses. I just like it so much that I rarely use IE. Best of all it is free. Katharina |

I.E. has a similar, though not as nice to use tool, IMHO, available from Microsoft called the Web Developer Toolbar - available from : http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&displaylang=en - http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&displaylang=en
