    It will be much easier to help you if you post a URL and include the specific sidebar text you are trying to change the size of.

    Right Sidebar *
    ************************************************/

    #r_sidebar {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    float: right;
    width: 250px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
    }

    #r_sidebar h2 {
    background: #444444;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding: 10px 0px 10px 10px;
    margin: 10px 0px 0px 0px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    }

    this is the origional css but if i take the h2 tags off i just can not for the life of me change the font size so i’ve just left it for the moment. Going to have to learn php and css i think!

    Hi

    To change the h2 title styling in the sidebar – style.css (line 247)

    #r_sidebar h2 {
background:#444444 none repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
margin:10px 0 0;
padding:10px 0 10px 10px;
text-transform:uppercase;
}

    change the font size – I changed it to 12 & it worked fine

    Thanks for the advice, i can change it with the h2 tags on but i dont want them as its detrimental for seo. I want to be able to alter the font size without the h2 tags which does not seem to be possible. Do you have any ideas how to do this?

    Do you have access to change the h2 tags to something else? If so, change them to whatever you want <p>, <h5>, whatever and apply the styling you currently have as h2 to the tag you change them to. If you user <p> assign a class with it and add that class to the changed styling in the stylesheet. for example change the h2 to

    <p class="sidebar-title">Header Here</p>

#r_sidebar p.sidebar-title {
background:#444444 none repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
margin:10px 0 0;
padding:10px 0 10px 10px;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
