Hello!

You either need to change this using the Indexhibit style plugin (Admin > Plugins > Indexhibit style, Options) or by using css, but you need coding skills for that...
tell us how it goes.

thank you for a quick reply - will give it a go

arsondpi - well looked at this - had a go but as i am not css confident and don't want to ruin the work so far - have decided to leave for now - all was after was to increase size of name on site and make that text black - probably really simple but for me just a little too confusing -

posting a url of your site would help to help you... :-)

andyfell.net - it would indeed

ok - did you try to use Indexhibit style?
What did not work?
Or rather what are you trying to do?

amarkfell / 2013-04-08 22:02:21   

- tried using Indexhibit style and it removed my name from the site and other text
have just tried again and the site currently shows what happens - not sure how I get this back to its original state

- what I am trying to do is increase the site name (my name) and make this black and slightly larger

- thanks for your patience -

just realised that disabling Indexhibit style - takes me back to original

You need to set options for all settings when using Indexhibit style.
Give it another go.

hi arsondpi
i am sorry i don't understand what you mean :-)

amarkfell / 2013-04-10 21:11:01   

oh dear I don't get this can anyone help a novice using Indexhibit style

arsondpi / 2013-04-10 21:40:44   

I meant set colours for links in all stages etc. Go through all the options of Indexhibit style and set colours, sizes etc...

Alternatively depending on your coding skills you can disable the plugin and work directly in your style.css using CSS.

thanks arsondpi
have had a go - and it has increased text size but hasn't increased size of name - i think i have to admit defeat and just go back to the original style/format -
thanks for your patience and help - it is appreciated

success & a sense of achievement :0) - now just to work out how i turn the name black

arsondpi / 2013-04-11 20:44:57   

Add the following to your style.css

  1. h1 a:link, h1 a:visited, h1 a:hover {
  2.     color: black;
  3. }

If you don't know anything about css basics check the "Editing your style.css file" section here: indexhibit.org/tutorials/customize/customization-basics-part-one/
