For goodness sake! Learn to use the LABEL tag!
One of my biggest pet peeves in the world of the web is coming across a form - usually a sign in form for some web 2.0 company - which doesn't understand the basic HTML LABEL tag. This is an extremely convenient and powerful tag! What it allows you to do is assign a label for a form control such as a checkbox or radio button. If you click on the label it is the same as clicking on the form control! This makes checking that "I accept terms and conditions" checkbox that much easier.
So, my challenge to you is this: go to websites which dont seem to understand how the LABEL tag works and drop them a friendly email with the link above and mention that they should update their HTML...
Ok?

interestingly enough, the label tag does not work as intended with the current release of webkit/safari.
The upcoming (due to be distributed in 2007) version however is fine.
The only downside is the new version also displays the butt-ugly cursor replacement you have on your site ;-)
Bloglines manages to display the labels on your checkboxes with their baseline a few down. Woot! Go go vertical alignment!
