I really really like it too !! 
Perhaps you should use ems sizing for the fonts though - the text is tiny and you can't enlarge it using the browser.

Hmm, tell me about 'em' sizing. I always using px sizing so I have control over the size, but how can I use em and still can be shure to have my 10, 11, 12, 16 or whatever px size?

I am always willing to expand my knowledge.

This explains it in a nutshell:

A few hunts on google will give you lots of tutorials though - I also believe percentages are good to use. 

It's worth it, I used to design using pixel sizes too and it took a little to get my head around at first.  I much prefer ems as it makes my sites more accessible and I feel I'm doing things the 'right way' - and you still get to control the pixel size... they are just given the ability to grow and shrink according to the user's preferences.

Pouh, that is a looong discussion going on there about whats the right way to format font sizes ... Keywords, ems, percentages of standard browser text sizes, well thats quite theoretical. I think I would feel quite unstable using ems in my designs right now. But I will read on about that issue and maybe use it in some of my next projects. Thanks for hinting me to it.

With Firefox or other standard compliant browers text can always be resized

Not if it's done in pixels.  Try it with your own site, the font doesn't change when you select larger text.
You should design for IE too -  90% or so of your visitors will be using IE.

thats true , but what i wanna say is that if someone use FF font size will always be resizable    so you don't always have control on the layout
