On the home page... at 800x600 resolution, there's still quite a bit of horizontal scrolling, such that I can't read all of the text in your main screen.

When I was looking at your site with IE 6.0 it looked good. The colors were good, graphics were good, and I liked the cursor changing effects on hover.
However there was a small problem that I came found with Netscape 4.7. Your horizontal and vertical lines dissapeared! Whether this is a problem with the design (dought it) or my computer (probably) it just didn't look right. Does anyone else get this problem when looking at it through Netscape 4.7?
Also, there is some horizontal scrolling envolved in 800 x 600 resolution. I looked at the source code and it looks like you tried to fix that with having the width="100%" in the table tag. The problem is with the width settings on the individual cells. You have them set to a static amount which won't allow the table to shrink or expand.
As a personal note, I do like the graphics (mainly for their colors) that you chose.
Yes, for some odd reason Netscape doesn't understand how to add a background image to a table cell. So of course, it displays nothing. It really annoys me, but I'll hold my anti-netscape rant for another day.
About the 800x600 scrolling --
I need to make the image on top a little smaller, that would probably allow people with 800x600 to view the page without scrolling side-to-side just to read the text.
I agree with your position about Netscape, but it looks like Netscape 6.0 is more compatable. I have ran into several problems with Netscape reguarding compatibility with some CSS (mainly borders).
I have had to redesign a few websites because of these problems, but now I have learned to first test in Netscape because IE seems to work with *almost* everything that netscape will (some things like blinking borders don't work with IE).
Well, good luck with the rest of your page.

Once you have reviewed other's sites then you will get an idea of what is considered good and other's will review yours.
