As I said, it is just a temporary measure so the page doesn't screw up for
those with large fonts. The BBC seemed to manage it, so I just wanted to
add to my page whatever they added to theirs. Seems simple in theory, but
you guys have the know-how that I don't as yet to actually help me implement
it... as a temporary measure.

Thanks to anyone able to :)
