Thanks, Phillipe!

Wow, pretty gruesome! However, I intentionally made the font size super-big, in the hope that
everyone who can read will be able to do so without text-zooming. Should I worry?

Yes -- apart from the horizontal scrollbar, it looks as I intended it.
Re. the scrollbar: I'd originally designed for 1024 x 768, but found the design looked quite weak
without the #background div, when viewed in anything wider (I'm assuming it's that very wide div
that's doing it). I don't suppose there's any way to have my cake and eat it too, is there (short
of creating a fluid design, which is way beyond my current skill-level and available time)?

Thanks! That's very good to know.

Thank-you!
One more question, if I may: I see that, on your computer, my 'contact' link (top right of page)
actually displays as an email 'envelope' symbol. Is that your computer/browser's default display
for any <href="mailto. . . > code -- or is my html incorrect? (On my FF 3.0.4, on Windows XP, I
simply see what I'd intended -- "contact", with no symbol.)

me, were my design fluid -- but it isn't: it's fixed!

Dunno. Here is how it looks like, when I force the window to the width of the monitor -windoze users
call that full screen or something:
<http://dev.l-c-n.com/_b/ml.png>
I zoomed the text, note how the selected part overflows the sand background (and is then
unreadable).
<http://dev.l-c-n.com/_b/ml2.png>
At my normal window width, no text zoom. Note the heavy horizontal scrollbar.
Safari 3.2 and 4b displays exactly the same.
On a another Mac with a 24"inch monitor, it behaves all the same.
On Ubuntu Linux, same thing.
I like the colours, btw.
