It doesn't seem unreasonable that the site be readable despite the font
size.  The logo overlaps the text at any point size under 16, at least in
my browser, which is quite big.  My screenshot was with size 12, which is
what I use everywhere and I'm sure I'm not alone.  I don't know anything
about HTML but is it possible to set a minimum font size or force it to 16?

Moving the text in the middle column down so it begins under the logo
would also work, wouldn't it?  All of our other pages (except b.g.o)
have either the plain purple banner or black banner with links across
the top, and it works fine there.  Is there some reason it can't be
done here also?
