Changing the Text Size as a Test

I was browsing through Hacker News earlier and I saw a post from Smashing Magazine titled 16 pixels For Body Copy. Anything Less Is A Costly Mistake.

I had a look through the CSS for this site and sure enough, it had been set at 13px. So as a test, I set off and changed it to 16px.

Here’s a before and after comparison. Let me know what you think in the comments.
