No problem. Feedback is a good thing. Those are all things that can be=20
easily handled. And I agree with you on 2, 3 and 5. Good to know about=20
1, and will try increasing the sizes. As for 4, the two options that=20
spring to mind are changing the color of the text or making the text=20
bold, and this might be solved anyway when the font size is increased.=20
I'll try all of them, but any preferences?

The two things I'm happiest about is I haven't yet heard about=20
*mistakes* causing huge problems in browsers (though those may yet=20
come) and I was actually able to get the host thing worked out in less=20
than 30 hours (thanks to those five folks at hub.org)=97my 5am URI slip=20
notwithstanding! ;)

Thanks for the quick feedback!

Michael
