Hi RB,

This is because you're using absolute positioning for everything,
rather than allowing the page to resize as necessary.
Try looking at http://www.alistapart.com/stories/journey/ ,
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/practicalcss/ and
http://bluerobot.com/web/layouts/ for examples of good CSS. Read the
code and try and understand how it works. If you need help, post to
the hwg-basics or styles lists.
Also, you're using divs with IDs everywhere where you should be using
normal tags. Eg, instead of <div id="h1">...</div>, you should use
<h1>...</h1> and define in your stylesheet:
h1 {...}
The same applies to all the other HTML tags that you've rendered as
IDs.
On a purely design note, I find the letter spacing on the front page
hard to read. This may be okay for the headline, but for the smaller
text and the links, this is, IMO, a bad idea.
HTH,
Raj.
