If the text on the site looks different, it is because I have changed the Stylesheet. Bill Wood pointed out that the old stylesheet prevented IE6 users from resizing text (it’s a ‘feature’ of IE6!).
This new stylesheet should allow resizing – but the site may look better or worse, depending on which OS and which browser you are using. If it looks terrible, please let me know. If the default text size is too small, I’d appreciate knowing that too. (It looks fine on a Mac!) And thanks to Bill for the feedback! :-)
The good news is that IE6 users should be able to resize the text to their heart’s content!
