Yep. People who visit your page can be uncomfortable with the font you
present and try to increase it's size. Your page should deal with that
gracefully. Your 'posted on' text creeps up into the heading everywhere
when the font size is increased. Probably a simple fix.

<http://www.allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?AnySizeDesign> might help your
understanding. Don't get me wrong. It isn't awful. But there is no
normal on the web. And medium disregards everything on both sides.

Just make it readable to non medium people. I wouldn't worry overmuch
about it looking as close as possible in different browsers. On the
other hand, it shouldn't be green in one with the menu on the left and
red in another with the menu on top :-)
It's really not bad, but the text is pretty small to my old eyes. I
would increase font size when visiting it. And that presents problems.
