Hi Dale,
the page looks fine in Opera 7.54 as well.
Congratulation :-)
Let me just point out some minor aspects concerning styling and markup
which you could improve.
- While your effort in separating content and style by avoiding
table-based layout is one of the most important issues, you could even do
better by first getting rid of all those HTML attributes you still use
(although you might deliberately have included these to cater for very old
browsers). And in a second step try to even get rid of inline styles and
put everything concerned with the appearance of your page in the external
stylesheet. The benefit is enormous as your page will only contain clean
and easily maintainable markup while you will always be able to change the
appearance just by editing the style sheet.
- The following line is too much ado about a simple heading:
<div class="heading"><B>SELF HEALING AWARENESS WITH EFT</B></div>
As it actually _is_ a heading, why don't you mark it up as a heading:
<h1>SELF HEALING AWARENESS WITH EFT</h1>
- It is good practice to always specify a character encoding with your
document, like:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
Actually, it is not valid otherwise.
- Andrew already mentioned it, and I would like to stress the issue of
font sizes. The pt unit is an absolute length which is highly dependable
upon the output medium. For more information about lengths see:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#length-units
That's enough criticism for the time being. I think you did a great job
and wish you the best success.
Cheers,
jens
