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

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

Thanks for the quick feedback!

Michael
