Thanks for replying...the 13px size is the main issue...i don't have great vision but I don't think any recent design guide would argue at 13 px is suitable in today's design standards.

One other metric is letters per line...guidelines recommend roughly 70 to 80 characters, because as lines get wider, it's harder to track which line you were on when your eyes go from the end to the beginning of the next line. It looks like your site is at around 100 characters despite it not having an extremely wide article body size.

Anyway, just my rant...this post on typography I've found to be useful: http://www.vanseodesign.com/web-design/typographic-choices/

As for what kind of project makes a developer, well, that's definitely open for discussion. I have no idea, but was just looking for a litmus test beyond just learning or being interested in code.

Thanks for your input. I have access to a typography nerd and will ask for a recommendation :)
