Ya, those aren't supposed to be comments, that's just a "trick" I'm
using for the time being to support IE's broken CSS interpretation.
After I'm done I'll be moving those ones to a different sheet entirely
for IE users.

I just took out the cursor: hand tags on my local copy, though. I
guess those were left there from something I was trying to implement
some time ago. So, between those and the need for broken IE CSS, that
takes care of the errors. As for the warnings, the reason I don't
specify so many colors is that there's no need. The colors of parent
elements "cascade" to their children.

I'd love to use Strict, except that I need to do something about my
iframe(s) first. That's really the only thing standing in the way. As
for the errors in my Transitional validation, those don't make sense to
me. It says I'm closing a head tag that isn't open, but it is open.
And it doesn't allow a body tag?

I'll change the font size to 1em, sure. It just seems kind of big to
me, anyone else? It seems like so many other sites I see use slightly
smaller fonts like mine and it just makes them more readable. At 1em I
couldn't imagine reading that thing on an 800x600 display.
