I'm Valid!

Woo hoo! I finally got tired of the mess lurking behind the pretty face of
my web site, and got it all cleaned up and templated and CSS'd and tables
removed.

The only problem is that my drop-caps sink. The first one on the page is
properly lined up, but subsequent ones get lower and lower.

Try playing around with vertical-align:

..Cap:first-letter {
font-family: georgia, times, serif;
vertical-align: inherit;
font-size: 250%;
}

When I did that it felt like having the pistons, crankshaft, and valves
scattered all over the garage floor, and I couldn't remember where the
torque wrench was.

Well worth the trouble, though, wasn't it?
