1. Pardon a beginner, but how do I resize the text in IE6? I can do it in FF but nothing happens in IE when I try.

That's because you have defined font-size in 'px'. Of course, the fault
is in Internet Explorer, but that doesn't help much when things doesn't
work as they should. Both "beginners" and "advanced" web designers
create this problem all the time.

Combined with small text it becomes an accessibility-problem for
visitors/users who (for any reason) can't read small text and know as
little about their own browser's options as these designers do.

- Normally, with relative font-sizing methods used in page, it should
work this way: <http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/ie5/fontsize.aspx>

- However, for your page it has to be done by "ignoring font sizes":
<http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/ignorecolorsfonts.mspx>

2. What, specifically, does not look good? I know the "What's new"-div gets too long when I resize the text in FF, but the rest looks ok doesn't it?

Parts of page/background very much out of position in my Opera 8.5.
Opera doesn't have many (if any) problems with well-coded designs, so it
should be easy to get right with proper CSS.

The rest is simply a question of poor readability and breaking layout
when font-resizing is applied in any browser. Since you have no control
over font-size and other font-size related design-details, you should
learn how to live, work and design with browser-options in mind.

Pick up some more on the subject of 'font size' at this lists own
wiki-page: <http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FontSize>
