Then add one of these to your style sheet. Use whatever one does for
your personal need or aesthetic pleasure...
p { font-size: 95%; }
p { font-size: 90%; }
p { font-size: 85%; }
p { font-size: 80%; }
p { font-size: 75%; }
p { font-size: 70%; }
p { font-size: 65%; }
p { font-size: 60%; }
p { font-size: 55%; }
The "rule of thumb," among those of us who have been around for awhile,
is to declare user default on the body and let the content p inherit
default. In other words, the decision regarding whether the font-size
is too big, too small, or just -right is left to the user to decide. She
can then adjust it to her need (rather than your taste and whim ), in
/her/ browser.
The roughly equivalent font-size default is :
pixel default=16px
keyword=medium (you had small)
em=1em
percent=!00% (I used percent as it seems more consistent to me
cross-os/browser)
