Chinese Blogging & Blogspirit

As you may have noticed, Blogspirit China and Blogspirit Taiwan are now open. It appears that the caracters size of Blogspirit blogs is too small for Chinese caracters, the Blogspirit team will work on this problem and offer a solution for this great community. By now Austin has already found a solution, you may find it here. I can't really say if the solution is good as Idon't speak chinese at all but Austin shows screenshots of his Stylesheet and It seems clear. I have just noticed that some titles such as "About Me" are still too small, however the main content is OK.

Thanks Austin !

What BlogSpirit should do is to offer a choice of font size for each template. The default font size not only is very UNFREENDLY for Chinese characters, it is also very inconsiderate for bloggers over 40 yrs old.

The same problem goes for the Chinese homepage and admin pages ... characters in the header section is so small that it is a joke ... what's the point of having Chinese when no one can read out what it says?

As long as I am in the font size issue, around the time BlogSpirit launches the new features around Feb 20, BlogSpirit sites are acting strange when displayed by IE. The font size of the home page and admin pages are abnormally small (I have since use only firefox to view BS pages). And the correct color of my template can only be shown by Firefox and not IE (I have a green template and IE shows it with the default blue color). I have fixed the second problem by picking a new template and then revert back to the original template. I wonder if anyone else has encountered similar problems with IE.
