Hi Peter...very clean looking site...sweet indeed. Only crit I found was in your div class=featurebox the img's (FEATUREARTCLE) (GO) move approx: 3px to the right when hovering over the latter - in Opera 7.11 Build 2887. Apart from that totally mini-glitch, the site looks brill. Well done.

I agree with Russ - it's a mostly a matter of personal preference. Initially shorthand can be confusing but with time it becomes the easier option. One more thing: font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size-adjust: none These are all completely
