Kevin,
Just a few things that spoiled an otherwise good site.
Your main page graphic failed to load. But did get the quotation “…
and she looked at the Sun” so that was a nice touch.
avoid using MS Windows proprietary character sets in web-pages, they
leave funny symbols all over other systems switch to iso-8859-1
(international standards organization latin-1 – western European),
thats standard for Australia (I see youre from this part of the
world), USA, etc.
Fonts like “Dream Orphans” and “Abaddon” may look nice in the latest
copy of Word, but I can assure you that they dont translate well over the web -- especially if scaled up (sometimes they go all jaggy) or when they cant be matched by the host system or by browsers other than IE6.
It`s always a good idea to make sure your pages look good in Times New
Roman – the very very very standard font for the web.
If you are using a background image that has a margin-like effect, its a good idea to make sure your document has a margin that is equal to the width of the graphic (or the graphic margin-like effect), otherwise the table data flows back over the margin graphic making it hard to read -- unless you are at the "best" viewing screen size - a luxury some people dont have. (even at 1024x768 not all browsers have the same viewable
space) Then you wouldn`t need to align your tables to the right.
