On the Tahoe Website (CSS Basics Course) everything seems to look fine down to about Iphone size. But when on a desktop browser, if I play around with the window and make it even narrower, the .intro text overlaps the header in a nasty way:
I realize that not many people would ever see this problem, but how do I prevent something like this within the CSS if I'm picky and want this to not happen at a very narrow width on the desktop? So far my code is the same as the Treehouse Teacher's.

9,033 PointsWell, I just remembered I have my Chrome's font size set to 'large' instead of the default 'medium'. So I guess that explains why his probably doesn't act that way (on Medium, this issue does not occur).
But what about those people who do have the font size set above 'medium'? I guess even though I pretty much solved my issue I could still ask the question. I know a lot of people who prefer the larger font sizes, so how might something like this be prevented?
I guess another media query with smaller font sizes could do the trick. Is there another way or is a new media query for tiny widths the best solution?

@media (max-width: 561px) { .primary-content { margin-top: 100px; } }
