Can I change my fonts and make my nav bar words bigger?

I wonder if I will ever get it right?

Just add the part in red (below) and fill in whatever font names you want to use. Remember that fonts are selected by the browser according to what is available on the viewer's computer. The browser looks for the first font in the list and keeps going through the list in order until it finds a font that is available.

#navcontainer ul{margin:0;padding:0;list-style-type:none;text-align:center; font-size:175%; font-family: segoe print, arial;}

Also, your banner image is not visible to the public. For it to be visible, all of the following must be true:

You must have the right URL
The gallery containing the banner image must have external links enabled
The gallery must not be password protected
The image must not be marked hidden in the gallery (even though you can see it)
You must have enabled public access to the size of the image that you are linking to


Usually, the problem is that the image is marked hidden. You will be able to see it (because of logged in permissions of browser cache), but we will not.

and you were correct as my banner was hidden.

Thanks! I may never be done with this. Maybe thats a good thing.
Oh, how about font in my meager bio? Color? If I'm asking too much, let me know.

Do you realize that you've chosen a text color for your navbar that is barely visible against the black background?

You can control the color of your bio text with this CSS:

#userBio {color:yellow;}

Add the same font-size or font-family CSS attributes that we used for the navbar to this #userBio CSS if you want to change those too.
