Text Size
If you find that the text on this site is too small or large for you to read comfortably, you can change it to a size more suited to you by do the following:
- If you use Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer for Windows, click 'View' then select an option from the 'Text Size' menu.
- If you use Internet Explorer or Netscape for Mac, click 'View' then select an option from the 'Text Zoom' menu.
- If you use and Mozilla broswers click 'View' then select an option form the 'Text Zoom' menu.
- If you use Safari on the Mac, then select 'View' and either 'Make Text Smaller', or 'Make Text Larger'.
- If you use Opera, use the 'Zoom' options
Most of these browsers also allow you the press 'Ctrl' or 'Command' and either '+' or '-' to increase or decrease the text size. Also, on mice with a scroll wheel, pressing 'Ctrl' or 'Command' and scrolling the mouse wheel will also have the same effect.
Many users of the internet are unaware that each browser has the capability of re-sizing the text of a web page to a size that is comfortable for the user. However, Internet Explorer incorrectly does not re-size text when the size of the font has been declared in pixels (px). Many web designers still use px to declare the font sizes for their sites, therefore denying users of Internet Explorer who wish to have fonts display smaller or larger on their screen the ability to do so. In this portfolio, and on all the sites that I have designed I have used relative sizing units in order to size fonts based on 'medium' text settings, thereby allowing users to re-size the text to whatever they feel most comfortable with.
Please be aware that increasing the font size too much can cause the site layout to become slightly jumbled.

You are viewing either a simplified version of the design of this website, or there is no design at all. This is because the browser you are using will not support all the CSS instructions that an up-to-date browser would. I recommend using a modern browser such as Mozilla Firefox to make the most out of the web.
