I'm going to step a bit further with a suggestion about your fonts. I'm older, and have poor vision. I'd suggest sticking a magnifying glass on the mainpage clickable to switch back and forth between <div> statements with larger and smaller fonts. Something like
div#normal{font-size: 20px;}
div#larger{font-size: 28px;}
div#biggest{font-size: 36px;}
Bill, if you define fonts in pixel sizes then IE can't scale or zoom them. Best practice, according to the css-discuss group, is to define 100.01% on the body, and use either descriptives (ie. large) or percentages or ems when defining font sizes on the other elements. This treatment will allow anyone to use any size font they choose in their browser, even if they choose IE.
