I haven't reviewed the topic of font size in a few months, because I primarily only program for my personal site. And the last time I got into a discussion about it here on css-discuss I learned allot, and also realized that people have varying opinions. With all that said, I enlarged my font size from small to medium because it was hurting my eyes, and even though I liked the smaller look, it would probably be better in the long run for everyone if it didn't give us a headache from reading it. Also, I actually just read an article here http://www.seosmarty.com/image-seo/ how people see web text first to images on the web medium, as opposed to images first on the printed medium. I thought my solution was an acceptable one, but I'm open to criticism. :-) ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
