I am having issues with text sizes. My site looks great when the text size is regular but if it is set to larger/largest then the text overlaps the pictures. What have I done wrong?
Thanks

> What have I done wrong?

You have attempted to design a web page based on one specific font size. The
reality is that any user can resize your text, so you want to design your
site so it works regardless of a user's preferences on their browser.

It sounds like you used absolutely positioned DIVs, which, as you found out,
don't 'go with the flow' of the page if things change. I'd suggest getting
rid of absolutely positioned DIVs.

Otherwise, give us a link and we can offer suggestions.
