It looks a little better, I guess, but the font still seems too
big. I'm reading it on a 1080p monitor with my browser taking up the
full height, but I can only see about 20 lines of text on a screen.

I don't know anything about responsive web design aside from the name,
but surely there must be better ways to accomplish it than making your
fonts enormous for everyone.
