Headers, like H1 tages, are usually between 12px-15px. By using fixed types fonts, in pixels, you blog will render pretty much the same on all browsers.

I must promise myself to get there one day before the big sleep! Have a great time and tell us all about it, both good and bad ;-) The new presentation is much easier on the eyes than the previous one. Looking forward to read your experiences in Cambodia.

Anyway here goes again, albeit much shorter than the original. It was the UK publishers who stated that "Nobody reads short stories any more", not me. The exception to this rule seems to be short stories written by well established authors, such as Steven King. There are many famous authors from the 19th and first half of the 20th century who made their names by originally writing short stories, but these days it is all but impossible for writers of short stories to get published. As the publishers say - there simply isn't a market for this genre if the author is unknown. Apart from the possibility of publishing a novel based on my autobiography, I am working on the ideas of writing a new volume of stories, but all linked with a central theme, and even having many of the same characters. Much like Damon Runyon, but with none of his unique brilliance. Maybe this might break the mould. Who knows? Although not short stories, even the great Charles Dickens had all his stories published in instalments in magazines - a little bit similar to what I am doing in my blog. But he was paid for his efforts yet I receive nothing. Not that I am really complaining, but I would appreciate a much wider readership. I'll probably be rich after I die!!!

Fonts too large, menu runs onto 2 lines, the picture in the header is distorted as its stretched to fit.
