Re: Re: StylishMonkey.com

You've done a lot in a fairly brief time.  You should be proud of yourself.  
One suggestion for your site (others may disagree).  Your CSS uses pts for 
font sizing.  This causes your text to be nearly unreadable on my larger high 
res monitor viewed by my deficient old eyes.  Check out use of EM and EX for 
CSS font sizing... you'll get a much better result than using PTS or PX. 
Also, to ensure a consistent experience across browsers, use a javascript to 
load browser specific stylesheets (this allows you to maximize on CSS while 
compensating for each browser maker's shortfalls).  The javascript is just a 
browser sniffer with a bunch of document.writes that output the appropriate 
css link.  You can get extreme with it if you like and do screen res 
detection to load res specific stylesheets (rem stylesheets can include 
additional external stylesheets).

Hope this was useful,
Richard
