Hi again, Folks! ;)
Here's another (probably dumb) one: is there any way to make the font size apply to all resolutions? Or do you absolutely have to write at the beginning of your site, "optimized for that resolution"?
Thanx

Specify it in pixels?
Specifying it in em's is better. The em measure is based on the text size at the current resolution, and it is defined as the width of a capital M (this is from ye olde days of typography). Good line widths are approximately 30em wide.
thanks... Can you specify that in Dreamweaver? Can you tell me how?

This follows the format of: weight, size, leading, typeface(s).Code:...<head>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
p {
font: normal 0.8em/130% tahoma, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>
</head>...
Try working in Dreamweaver's code view for a bit.Code:<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</p>
thanx!!!

Trico, what does the leading do? 130%
The 130% refers to the line height, and it is defined as the distance between the base of the line to the base of the line above it (and below it).
I generally find that increasing the default line spacing adds a modern clean look and makes the text easier to read.
