I'm sorry, marvin, but you can't make everyone happy as to the font problem
without ruining your site for everyone else. Your friend should have
continued to increase the font size until he could read it, but don't let
people talk you into something that will mess your pages up. Everyone can
control the font sizes through their browsers and they also can set their
own computers to display larger fonts by setting the system font size much
larger.
Maybe you should provide instructions to others for how to increase the
fonts in their browsers so you don't need to edit hundreds of pages and make
your page layouts look terrible.

Hi.
well, one guy on the wsg list, asking for feedback about my site,
said, that the fonts were really small, and as a part sighted person,
had to increase them 3 or 4 times, and he said still way too small.
the wsg list address to post is wsg@webstandardsgroup.org
and maybe subscribe and post there.
okay, will go and have a look at the images, zip file, i downloaded.
and okay, will put your changes in the style sheets, and the div tags
for the pages, will do that this weekend, and then edit the other
content.
sorry about that.
cheers marvin.
ps: so, do i use the pages, i downloaded them, for the star trek, or
just put all the episodes in season folders, go and find the season
folders, and then put the references to those links on the episode
page?
so i can then match off line, what is online?
is this right?
okay, will start to do that on the weekend.
cheers marvin.
