How's this one look?

DP: That is looking much better - there are less jaggies (there a few mild ones here and there) and because things aren't squashed up your graphics look much better. However, it is far too wide (it might be something to do with the columns that are 280px, 100% and 51px although I'm not sure).

Also your second keywords metatags should the description.

Sort the width problems out and put some content in and this will start to work for you (I'd get rid of that background and put in a darker colour).

Well, I made the tables liquid, like CPrompt suggested; but I think the large banner at the top is throwing everything off.

DP: Yes the sums don't add up:

leftsidefiller (the crystal and first girl): 280px
topheader2 (the second girl): 90px
topheader: (main title and third girl): 550px

gives a width of 920px

Just added in a Javascript command that changes the pic based on resolution, since the one up there looks really good, but only on certain rezzes. So now it substitutes a smaller one in if you have a small rez.

DP: Looking better but it is still a touch too wide. My suggestion migt be to get rid of one of the two top left hand corner elements and narrow the left hand column.

I'm not redrawing the left hand column; that would mean I would have to redraw the whole thing.

And I checked with someone who runs a lower rez; all of the important stuff is on the screen.
