Okay, the second part of that title is one of my favorite all-time movie quotes, from... anyone? Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.
Anyway, just a quick note on font usage here, in particular the use of Comic Sans. Why do so many people like this font? It's the most casual of the "web safe" fonts. Stay away from it, unless you really don't want to be taken seriously.
Stick with the more accepted and more conservative fonts on your web site, such as Verdana, Arial, Times New Roman. Spice things up a bit with Georgia and Trebuchet. But, if you want your site to look at all professional, no Comic Sans. Ever.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Comic Sans - Do I Amuse You?:
I would add Papyrus to this list too. It seems like the default "earthy" font that people love so much that it is no longer distinctive - it's a caricature of itself.
