How to resize text in your browser 18 Sep 2007
The creation of this clip was inspired by Patrick Lauke who is "a firm believer in not providing widgets on individual web pages to do things such as resizing text on a page - on the basis that it's site-specific and doesn't teach the user how to change the font size for other web sites that don't provide these controls". Put simply, it's the old "teach a man to fish" theory: supply your own text-resizing widget and users will be able to resize the text on your site; teach users to resize text via their browser, and they'll be able to resize the text on all websites. Sounds like a great idea to us. What do you think?

Even better - if you use the NoSquint extension, it automatically remembers your text-size settings on a per-site basis:

The problem is that many sites look funky even at 110% (on NoSquint).
