Text Re-sizing

Although we do not provide 'text sizing' links within the site, font-sizes throughout should elegantly re-size in a modern, standards compliant, browser (e.g. Firefox where 'CTRL~+' will increase text-size and 'CTRL~-' will decrease text-size). Internet Explorer, unfortunately, has known limitations regarding text re-sizing.

Standards

The pages within the site are intended to conform to current CSS and XHTML standards

Valid CSS! Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional

Metadata

All pages within the site contain embedded Dublin Core metadata intended to conform to DCMI guidelines for XHTML embedded metadata.
