Give it some room along the top and left side.
You can either put in a box and give that a margin, or change the
padding on your body.
Also, try it in Verdana.
I'd do something like Dorayme did. A div box with a width and a border
and some padding. The div background-color: #FFF and the body some
darker shade. Give the DIV a width so it doesn't go 100%. It'll look a
lot more elegant. It can look nice and still be correct markup, they
aren't exclusive.
