No it's not. If you look at the top left of your screen, it should say Back.

Hi Christian: is the voting really working right.  When I clicked on the 
bottom-right one to view it, the radio button was also selected, even 
though i didn't necessarily mean to vote for it.   and, in looking at 
the results the first site has far the most votes which made me wonder 
further if they got the vote by people starting down the list with the 
intent to look at all of them but voted instead.


Neat idea!

cheers
Donna

I'm going to say this falls under Site reviews and critiques, which
is one of the approved topics.

 Where does one find this list of approved topics thus to avoid myself

 http://cssliquid.com/2006/news/100-gallery-entries-now-vote-for-the-best/

For any who might care, I've captured all those sites with 1280 wide
resolution screenshots, with and without minimum font size set equal to
my 20px default. Each of them links to each of the other 6 contextual
setup pages and to all 14 screenshots.
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Sites/sc-cssliquid-cheea.html will get you
started.

All except Watchmaker nicely tolerate the 20px minimum.

What all except Jason show is the dominant text size on each is
considerably smaller than Firefox's menu text. Firefox's menu text size
here is 10pt, the same size KDE defaults to for all QT app and desktop
menus, so the only thing special about it is that it's larger than the
8pt M$ default most web designers live most intimately with.

Since _everything_ I've found with a claimed scientific basis either
recommends an absolute minimum of 10pt, or finds that more ordinary web
users prefer the most common OEM browser default of 12pt over other
sizes, this means that among the finalists style trumps user
preferences, and accessibility for sighted users is something less than
optimal.

My question is why is this so? Why is it that style cannot permit users
by default text they are comfortable reading? Why is this a so nearly
universal modern web standard? I'll provide bad answer #1: because space
above the fold is precious.

Please don't sidetrack on the issue of impropriety of pt for CSS text
sizing. CSS text sizes need not be specified in pt for users to get the
12pt or any other size they prefer.
