• When zoomed to 200% the content overlaps and the footer takes up most of the page making it very difficult to see the main content. This issue is only present in IE. See Fig. 13.01

• See 1.4.5. See Fig. 12.01 --> related to content example
• Month abbreviations such as "Jun", "Feb" are not fully explained. Even well known abbreviations need to either be expanded on the first use on a page or that a link to a glossary or list of terms be provided
