Brian--

I don't see the problems you mention. Did you post the correct URL? 
Otherwise, maybe it doesn't appear on a Mac. I'm using Netscape 4.6 
Mac and IE 4.5 Mac.

 From your description of the problems (which I don't see), it sounds like:

#1 You may have to hand tweak the cell size in tables.

#2 You may have an image background which is not pure white. Check it 
with the eyedropper.

Other things:

1. Your graphic Elysian with the graphic type Web Site Design. While 
overlapping letters sometimes is OK, here it leads to difficulty in 
reading both Elysian and Web.

2. Your mouseovers: the text becomes too blurred. Create a rollover 
where you get the glow but the text remains clear.

3. The footer type is too small a font size. I realize you don't 
intend that this type to be prominent, but that doesn't mean it 
should be miniscule. You probably have better vision than me, and I 
do need a new prescription on my glasses. On the other hand, my 
monitor is much sharper than what's typical for most viewers.
