any comments would be cool

I don't like to wait... I'm on dialup, and it's taking too long. But because
you asked so nicely, I think I'll wait and see what's here.

Good grief! This is even slower than the Hotjobs site.

You have misspellings.

Menus are kind of cool, but they are ultimately worthless, because I have no
clue about what the pictures are.

In short, your site is not communicating, except to say that you do not have
any knowledge of the audience.

The type in the graphic is too hard to read. I like small type, but this is
nearly unreadable.

You obviously do nice work, but you have not showcased it suitably for the
Web.

I have two issues I'd like some help with. The site address:
www.granatedit.com

ISSUE ONE
My site looks OK in IE 6, Opera 7, and NS 7, but in NS 7, the
div.maincontent doesn't completely render. I know I must be missing
something especially to satisfy that browser, but I don't know what it is.

Here's the style definition:

div.maincontent{
background-color: #000000;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: 5px;
width: 100%;
}


ISSUE TWO
I had to use a not-so-good way of getting the icons for W3C to appear at the
bottom of the left column. I put an inline style in the paragraph tag, but I
have to change it for each page by typing the correct number of units that
are required on that page. Is there another solution? I'm sure there is, but
I just don't know it and have worked far too long on this anyway.

Here's the code for that portion (for the index.html page):


<div class="menu"><br /><br />
<p class="copy" style="margin-top: 20em">
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer"><img src="w3c.gif"
alt="Valid XHTML 1.0" height="25" width="70" border="0" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer"><img src="cssw3c.gif"
height="25" width="70" alt="Valid XHTML 1.0" border="0" /></a>

<br /> </p>
</div>
-----------------

COMMENT
Although many of my pages do not validate now (only three do), I am
anticipating the day when they all will and I'd love to be able to insert a
style that I don't have to tweak for each page.


Thanks in advance for any help!
