Should you have classes with the same name as html tags? ie class body?
How I see it being a problem for a coder, is if you have; body { blah blah } and then
.body { blah blah } it could get confusing.
You may not need the body class, because you could assume all p tags follow the same
rules within body-content
So you could have a rule in the css saying .body-content p { blah blah }
Then you could save having to add the extra class='body' to each p tag within that
section.
The same would go with images, if they are all going to behave the same way within the
body-content section.
Zeldman calls this 'classitis', he makes the point that you should let CSS do the work
without having all the extra classes.
Cool sketch idea for the images, I like that effect. Did you scan them in?

Subject: Re: [WSG] Font size, and how large is large enough?
On a website I've recently developed (www.cabotconsultants.com.au) I opted for this...
p.body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: x-small;
color: #036;
margin-left: 18px;
margin-right: 18px;
line-height: 2;
}
I found it's clean and clear. Just wondering... What is the difference of using the
percentage font-size as opposed to the preset "medium, small, x-small, etc" sizes? Are
these 'preset' sizes still relative to the body user defined font size?
Cheers
