replace

#logo h1
{ margin: 0px;
  padding: 41px 0px 0px 19px;
  letter-spacing: .2em;
}

with

#logo h1
{ font-size: 36px; margin: 0px;
  padding: 41px 0px 0px 19px;
  letter-spacing: .2em;
}

this should increase the size.

Thanks for the reply - I should have told you that I don't know html. I don't know where it is that the correction needs to be made.

if you go into the themes folder via ftp, and go to .../themes/orange_sunset/style and open up styles.css, then do the above changes.

Would that be in the cpanel under ftp accounts?

Really new to website building (as if you couldn't tell) Please assume I don't know a whole lot.

okay, so first, go into cpanel. then open up the file manager there.click on public_html, then click on themes, then click on orange_sunset, and finally click on style. There should be a file in there called style.css. open that up, and then make the changes to that file that I have said earlier.

Honestly, I'm not trying to get on your nerves - I walked through the steps you outlined to get to the themes folder. When I click on that folder all that's there is "No records found."

I looked in the concrete folder and found themes but don't find orange sunset. Should I look somewhere else?

He missed a step :)
When you install a theme from the market place, it goes in a different directory.

Have a look here:
/packages/theme_orange_sunset/themes/orange_sunset/style

In there you should find the style.css file. Have a look for the #logo h1 line as 12345j mentioned and add the font-size: 36px or whatever size you would like in there.

And don't worry, you're not getting on anyones nerves :)

Hey Guys - Me again. I have gone through all the steps you have outlined for me. I'm still unable to change the size of the font.
I have found the h1 line and made the changes I want there. Yet when I open my site, there is no change in the font. I thought perhaps I didn't save the changes so I redid the steps and sure enough the h1 line was as before I made the changes. So this time I went to file and save and again no change. So I went back into the file again and the h1 line was as if I hadn't done anything.
I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but am I missing yet another step??

While in file manager, I highlighted the style.css line in the menu, click on Code Editor, found the line I needed to change, added the font size line as shown above, saved the changes and still not change to the font size.

that seems sort of weird. I packaged up the theme with the changes. It should display with size 50 font now, and with it customizable. first delete the folder theme_orange_sunset under root/packages. Don't worry, it won't delete your site. then unzip the file attached here, and upload it to root/packages. then if you go to your dashboard you should see it ready to install. then go to your themes page and activate it. next click on the customize option next to the theme name, and you should be able to easily change the font size!

Tried to upload to root/packages and this is what the window opens to when I click upload files:

Please select files to upload to /home2/bucksan1/public_html/themes

There isn't any way that I can see to change where the file is uploaded to.
When I go to the dashboard there isn't anything to install and when I click on activate the message is that orange sunset is already installed.

Really sorry that this is so difficult, I am learning alot though!

The site is still there without any of the orange sunset theme. Also have lost all slideshow pictures and a couple of the pages won't load.
My client is not happy.
Please make sure your instructions are more detailed. I'm learning so please don't assume that I will know exactly what you intend.

Try going to the themes page under dashboard. scroll down until you are next to orange sunset, and click the customize button to the right of it. If there are any options you should be able to customize it. If not, upload the attached file after unzipping it to root/themes then go to the themes page in the dashboard, and at the bottom you should see a new orange sunset(under ready to install). install that package, and you should be able to customize that one.
