Hi Taco,
There are two issues here.
1. The html sample is invalid as the nested list must be inside an li
element, not between them.
<ul>
<li>Blah
<ul></ul>
</li>
</ul>
2. a simple rule will fix this, as it is simply applying the percentage size
to nested elements:
li { font-size: 90%; }
li li { font-size: 100%; }
