Hello
Stop defining font size in less than what is the default value on the
visitor's browser.
"
If you do not specify any font size at all (as on the pages you are
reading), text will appear in the default size that was selected by
the user.

Truth and consequences of web design
Font size
"
respect the users' preferences, avoid small size for content
* As a base font size for a document, 1em (or 100%) is equivalent
to setting the font size to the user's preference. Use this as a basis
for your font sizes, and avoid setting a smaller base font size
* Avoid sizes in em smaller than 1em for text body
Units: avoid absolute length units for screen display
* Do not specify the font-size in pt, or other absolute length
units for screen stylesheets. They render inconsistently across
platforms and can't be resized by the User Agent (e.g browser).

Care with font-size
http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/font-size
10px for font-size for body text is too small. Just replace that with
font-size: 100%;
and that will use the preferred font-size by the user.
Your stylesheet has over-coded, over-declared and over-defined every
single margin and padding of elements. You do not need to do any of
this if you rely on the default browser values. Using the universal
selector is also a big mistake.
