Edit main.css - body, html and set font-size to whatever you like. You may also need to change it to a lot more places as for a lot of elements font-size is setup in their classes

What parts of the code do I need to change to make my text bigger I have tried to edit this main.css before but it didn▓t work so I must have done it wrong.

You need to change font-size. For example

font-size: 13px;

But like I said you may need to change it to a lot of places

Ok so I have changed the font size on all the pages but now I still don’t know how to change the size for the module links on the sides of the website the text is still real small. Can anyone tell me how to change the text size for
Manufacturers Module
Specials Module
Help Module
Your cart Module
Authentication Module
New Module
You can see what i mean by looking at my website www.weaponsplus.com.au

What do you mean "changed the font size on all the pages"? You need to edit skin1/main.css file. Also all of the menu items you mention use their own style class in main.css file. You need to know which class applies to what you want to change. You can use Firefox with Firebug - it will tell you exactly which class in which file

I now have firebug installed on my computer but it seems a bit hard to use any tips? Also I cannot find how to edit the menu items using firebug? ? ?
