There's a problem with people who need bigger fonts - on chrome on a macbook the text falls off the bottom of the screen and there's no way to read it. And frustratingly there's a bunch of space up top (Apple menu bar; chrome's weirdly large titlebar; chrome address bar and bookmark bar; then there's a white stripe; and then there's the Globe and mail banner. At the bottom of the screen there's another grey bar (Our audience is our only agenda).
Using Chrome's frustrating ctrl+ feature ("zoom everything", instead of "enlarge text") means that the user interface stuff takes up even more space, and there's less space for text.
People may know me as being vehemently against this type of website - "just give me the text with nice css" - but I actually really liked the experience, even with these problems. (I also liked the photo essays.)
