Thanks, Dave. I missed that!

Darn. My awesome CSS skillz don't extend to fixing nasty IE/Firefox incompatibilities, so I've taken the easy way out and removed the "Send a copy to yourself" option.
The easiest way to sort out FF vs IE issues is to run the page through the W3C validator - although getting a handle on the error reports can take a bit of getting used to. If the problem area is the only error on the page it's reasonably painless. But it can be quite pedantic about stuff that doesn't seem to have serious consequences and that in turn screws up reporting on problems further down the page.
Still - really handy once you're used to it.

The CSS is valid; it's just interpreted differently by IE and Firefox.
After messing around with it for a while I discovered that I wasn't receiving the messages anyway. After trying a number of plugins, I've taken the easy way out and slapped in an AWeber form instead - single opt-in, so there's no spam protection, but at least I get the messages!
I've been told that the font on the site is too big, which makes it hard to read. As I get older, it seems to me that smaller text is more difficult to read!
Does anyone else think it's too big?
I think it's fine, although it could down a point or 2 without going too small. Certainly you want to err on the large side if you are going to err at all. Reading on a screen is more tiring than reading printed media.
The trouble is I reckon you've got the proportions right. So you take down the plain text and the header text is going to look funny. So then you'll end up fiddling there.
I was going to say this about your mother grundy commenters about email addresses and thought better of it. But maybe it's time -
You can't please all the people all of the time. But happily, the internet is the ultimate numbers game.
