Actually I wasn't aware of the "notify-me" option in most blogs. I find it quite annoying, yet I hadn't de-activated from my site, cause I didn't think of it. Now the function is fixed.

I do that all the time, clicking a Google link and then having my browser freeze up. I also hate it when people underline random words - I'm always suckered into hovering over them to see if they're a link or not. The worst thing is when the underline is the same colour as the links.

Well that's how it applies to print, it probably varies on screen since it forces people to look in different ways. Personally I agree with you because I think serif fonts look dated on screen, and they can be tricky because they don't always render with aliasing on some browsers (which looks tacky and isn't readable). PDF's can be a nightmare! They're good for CV's and such but for some reason my university insists on uploading all lecture notes to the internet in PDF form which just makes it harder for me :/ I might go with Jem's suggestion up there, since I connote all good things with the word 'Fox' :p Probably something to do with Mozilla!!

It's seriously rapid, and does everything the Adobe reader does (to my knowledge). Best decision of my life to get it. OK, that was probably an exaggeration.

The definitely listened to the first tip for I think the other ones are just common sense to me. Just a question, though: What's a good font size to use? When it comes to music, there are some websites that don't give you an option to turn off the music! Sorry, but I don't want to mute my speakers. Thanks for the tips.
