hey mike,

glanced at the sample gallery page and at your css file and noticed a 
couple of things:

before i start..i'm somewhat of a newbie.. so take it for what it is 
worth.

the first thing i noticed was your help text, and moron that i am, kept 
hovering over different images waiting for a big image to pop up. 
lightning struck, i noticed the look below, and scrolled my beautiful 
20 inch monitor down to see the image in the lower left corner... was 
larger. technically , probably correct, but beware morons like me are 
all over the web.

while different people write css differently i've seen some people spec 
a font size in the body tag...i'm rambling. in your <p id="help"> you 
spec your css to be .9em which would bring you in around (roughly 90% 
of 24 point or 21+pt (assuming default 16pt) and the user hasn't 
changed it, which you increased in sidebar by 150% to 24.  if it's too 
big, reduce it to .8em, .7em, 90%, *0%..i digressing again...sorry

i think.... maybe...
