"League" sounds more 'secret society'-ish. In a 1930's pulp serial kind of way. And covers more than just the slayers working with Buffy in this series. So it works for the series of stories I hope to write. I'll have to think about having a name specifically for Buffy's team... a lot of fics that use the slayer team concept do give those teams different names but I haven't yet in any of mine (My Buff/Gilmore Girls series, and the Kim Possible crossover series have slayer teams.).

That was an interesting site, I now know lots more about font sizes than I did, thanks. Dave All right, to me, at least, this looks much better (of course YMMV).

I was setting font size as a pixel value (12px) that made them slightly smaller than normal (Normal is supposedly 16px). Which made them hard to read on some devices. Now I'm doing it as a percentage so they now appear larger in some places. Here's an explanation of the different ways to set font sizes in CSS/HTML: http://www.kyleschaeffer.com/best-practices/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/ Hopefully I'll get it all straightened out in the next couple of days. Or set back to what it was before until I can fix it permanently... Not exactly. %-).

I feel like I need to shove my chair back from the computer just so I can read them. My normal resolution is 1920/1200 on the 24 inch flat wide screen Dell monitor and the home page looks just fine but the other two, not exactly what I'm used to, as in huge fonts. Note that it's only the bottom right portion (the majority of the screen), not the headers on top or the left side. Looking at the page source I see that the fonts are +2 but I'm not sure that they are for the entire page or for the bottom right section. For me with my very small screen resolution it looks perfectly huge, did you mean to do this?
