you need to pad your main table cell, the contents are hard on the edge.
the "realwebgirl.com" at the bottom right of the page is very hard to read.
your style sheets (CSS) only works in IE, you have .,P remove the dot and comma. add a font family into your body or links as NS is showing links as times new roman.
on your picture page only the top link is working in IE, and Opera is adding big spaces between your links so your background image is repeating, only half the links work in Opera (doesnt give the hand cursor and you havent changed it).
most of the links dont work (no cursor/option to click) in your gallery section either in IE or Opera
few teething problems but a really nice flow/feel to it
First problem I notice is the fonts - ugly serif and really small. Not nice. Then I see this:

I'm runing at 1152x864 using Opera 6. Seeing this sort of thing just irritates me. I'm not about to switch browsers here..
Okay, I will, just to see if there's anything I'm missing here. The only thing that seems different is the font - stylesheet must not be working in Opera for some reason... This does look nice - I like the picture effect you've used, but I feel like everything should be bigger. Hmmm... I wonder if you could detect screen res and load a different stylesheet depending???
Interesting. I like it. The colors work well together and I love that bg image on the home page. It sure does take a while to load though. I would be curious to know if it would load faster if you made like three separate table (header, body, footer)and put it in as a table background. Might not but it might.??
Those are some cute graphics you have on your web sets page.
Oh, I agree that you need some padding for the body part. Also, the text is a bit small but it was readable. Guess I am not getting as old as I thought.
You have some problems using table widths as a percentage. If someone's browser window is too small the navlinks will overlap the text. You should make the navlinks a fixed width and the text variable to prevent this.
Here is what I am talking about:

I tried to visit the site but there is nothing there apart from a crazy background and the scroll bar changes colour
waited for a minute but gave up

LOL yep I just sat there going "hmmm" even switched from firefox to IE just to check something hadn't worked...
Why would you remove the site but leave a BG? odd

that picture takes a while to load (115kb), try somewhere like http://www.spinwave.com/crunchers.html to compress it a bit

I also think everything is a bit small, especially at larger resolutions.

In addition to what's been said...
Your navigation looks pretty lonely out there at higher resolutions and doesn't exist at all on your guestbook page.
Maybe "Web Log" and "Depression" should open new windows since they are such a complete departure from the rest of the site?

Nothing is showing up except the hideous background texture. No text, pictures, or anything.
