Site fine-tuning

After the recent site redesign, there's still one element that needs fixing. Depending on what browser you are using it may be obvious that my choice in font sizes is not perfect. I am currently using the easy option of setting specific font sizes that look good in the browser that I use, Mozilla Firefox. However, this results in text that is too large in Internet Explorer for Windows, and I've no idea how bad it looks in other browsers.

What I should be doing is following the recommendations made on A List Apart, particularly in their Elastic Design article. Perhaps this would entail a move to using font-size keywords such as x-large. Their site looks the same to me in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, so they must be doing something right.

I am also gradually validating and fixing the pages on my site. I would like to have everything conforming to XHTML 1.0, but I have been stymied by some link counters that provide their own non-conforming code to do the counting.

Perfection cannot be far away...
