Several CSS style codes are included:

- #zmanbigtitle: a SPAN tag for the title of the widget
- #zmantitle: a SPAN tag for each of the titles within the widget.
Thus, you could format the text by adding the following to your style sheet:
#frizman { font-size: 12px; } #zmanbigtitle { font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; } #zmantitle { font-weight: bold; }<h3>LEGACY INFORMATION</h3>= Something isn't working. Any way I can see what might be going wrong? =

I put in the latitude/longitude but it’s showing the completely wrong city
