Well at least in my browser the changes seem easy to find:
 - text size changed from 14 to 12

This I don't want to do. Web designers have a horrible fetish for small
fonts and it makes the web really hard to read.

We'll I know what are you talking about but 12px is not a small font. I'm
not sure what is your screen resolution but on 1024x768 it just seems
normal. And also Verdana doesn't look so good at 14. I just set the size to
13 at http://tkzs.org/axkit/ - please take a look again.

Please use em units for font sizes. 1em is whatever the font size is set to in the browser. If you want it a bit smaller, use 0.9em, 0.8em, for headlines, use 2em, 1.4em, whatever. Cross browser compat will be /much/ better, accessibility will be better for people who boost the font size in the browser prefs. Also, there are apparently browsers out there that won't increase the size, if you "zoom in", if the size is set in px's.
