One comment on the richinstyle article...

The author recommends you define your font-family with 'Arial, Geneva,
etc...' 

I have found that Arial doesn't look good on the Mac at all - especially
with smaller font sizes. I typically define font-families in the following
order 'Geneva, Arial, Helvetica...' - Geneva takes care of the Macs, Arial
for Windows, and Helvetica for UNIX.
