Thanks, this helps a lot! So Nandroid back-up is like Windows restore points, and Titanium back-up is just backing up apps that you can uninstall or restore individually, that was my main question. As long as one follows the 1st post you'll end up with both on your SD card (and backed up on your PC for extra piece of mind).
I wasn't sure what "Wipe cache partition" was... didn't want to try it and find all my links2SD gone. Cache cache everywhere... wish cash would build up that fast!
I'd seen that font app, has a few bad reviews, and that pop up screen is exactly the same as in many apps. I have "extra large" set in my browser (Boat), and any other app that has it. I use GO Launcher that has some font selection, so I'm OK (as long as I have my glasses on )

OK, i don't think I can tackle all that, but ill try.
A TB back up covers app & data. A clockwork recovery (usually referred to as a nandroid recovery) covers *everything*. As in, something goes wrong flashing a rom, you boot into recovery, choose backup & restore, choose restore recovery, and BAM your back to where you were when you made the recovery, no harm no foul. It saves your bacon if something catastrophic happens.
Also, if you have a roomy sdcard (which I do not) you can make a new recivery*after* you flash a rom u like, then flash a new one, make a recovery of that one, etc. and easily switch back and forth between them. My recovery I made before I flashed Harmonia was 500mb and took up most of the space I had left on my sdcard, so multiple recoveries are not for me.
I'll leave the recovery option explanations to the experts, except to try to answer one more thing.
Whenever my market gets wonky, or something else just isn't working quite right, this is what I do
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Go into advanced, select wipe dalvik (or is it davlik? Dyslexic, sorry!) cache
4. Since I'm using xionia, i do both wipes 3 times (xionia has a rep for incomplete wipes)
5. Reboot
And this seems to get everything running smoothly.
Hmm...you're a space saver like me, you might like Root Tools-let's you clear sdcard cache. It's the only app i've seen that actually works for that purpose.
Edit: hope this doesn't come off as creepy, but I saw and app earlier and it reminded me of a post you made a while back in another thread, about liking bigger font sizes, and I wondered if u had seen it:https://market.android.com/details?id=org.pbxes.fontsize
