Allow me a tiny rant.

You have this on the page -

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var note="Sorry, graphics on this page may not be downloaded";
function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(note);
return false;
}

yet if you click on the disk icon in the IE image toolbar that appears when
you hover over any graphic, you can freely save any image in the site.

The use of that script cheapens your page, and makes it look like an amateur
or hobby site. Is that really what you want?

Now - your page (site) looks weird in other browser/platform combinations
(see snap to see how it looks in Firefox1 on the PC) because you have used
quite a bit of the IE/PC only graphic tools (like WordArt, and those
interactive buttons, I believe). Unfortunately, these are cool tools, and I
believe it's also unfortunate that FP doesn't warn you about them not
working in other browsers. If you want cross-browser/platform
compatability, you'll have to eliminate those effects from your pages.
