Looks good on Opera 9.02, IE 7, and Firefox 2.0 here (Win xp). > A couple of minor items. First, your document is xhtml 1.0 strict, but > your server is serving it as text/html, which is incorrect. Hmm. I don't think that's right. Perhaps Roger is thinking of XHTML 1.1? Personally, I see no reason to use a transitional DOCTYPE for any new design. My impression is that transitional is just that - a way-station when converting older designs so that deprecated elements and attributes can still be used, yet validate. > Second, I still prefer avoiding text as images unless you need something > highly stylized.

Having said that, you have made the text plenty big enough for me to read on my 15" 1400 x 1050 pixel laptop. But then, being only 70, do not suffer from vision difficulties. > Third, the html could use a bit more structure. Yup. And so could mine :) > Give yourself a pat on the back. You've made a lot of progress. Agreed 100%.
