Examples in the Text Editor are very difficult to read, Setup

(1) I'm having a hard time reading what is being typed in the examples. Is there a way to enlarge the text and/or change the color so it's more pronounced against the background.

(2) I didn't see any instructions on where to find files to download (ie, images) and it took several minutes before I found them at the bottom of the screen. Are there instructions on what to save and when? I only saved a single file to my hard drive (the "img" folder). There was no instruction in the video about saving the images (ie, the logo) so clearly there was a step missing when I was following along in my text editor.

Windows - I noticed some of the files are labeled, "Mac" and others have generic titles. Am I only downloading the generics or all files? Also, I created a folder to save my work in the text editor and the images in a folder I created in "Documents". Is this appropriate?

Sorry about all the questions. I'm struggling a bit in getting started so I'm trying to figure out the ground rules to make the lessons go smoother down the road.

Thanks.

1 The text editor I don't know if you can make it bigger or not I just put on my glasses. 2 on downloading the files, you just right-click and save link as. I have changed the titles to the videos so I can tell what they are about. 1 title under video - 2 title under video. I started a folder - Build a simple website. Inside I have folders for each section of the lesson. (Website Basic) (Text Editor and HTML) With the titles renamed so I can look back and know what they are about. 3 I saved the mac files but don't use them.
