Yes. Several of you mentioned this. I will change it. Thanks :)

I don't use pt anywhere. But yes I do use px extensively. In=
 fact, nowhere 
I use relative sizes. My experiments with it have all been a=
 blunder across 
user agents. It's amazing the things browsers take for granted=
 when doing 
relative sizing on fonts. I'll give it another shot and follow=
 the 
recomendations here. Maybe I didn't try harder before.

Yes. I thought on this one. In fact, all pages are just one step=
 behind 
4.01 Strict. On most cases, I just have to change the image tags=
 so that I 
set border through CSS... It's been rather lame of me not having=
 it done 
already :)
But thanks for reminding me.
