Very nice. I'm impressed with turning that out in four weeks based on starting with no programming/html knowledge. As far as the CSS goes, one thing that helped me was using one of the many CSS frameworks out there. You might try that if you run into more issues going forward. I'm using blueprint for now, but there are several out there to choose from.

I have no idea what a CSS framework is but I'll put it on my todo list to find out! Thanks :)
no problem. What you have now looks good, so you may not need it unless/until you do a redesign.

They basically have a set of predefined CSS classes for layouts to give you a starting point. Blueprint and some of the others also have a default set of styles predefined, and you can find several examples of people who have added to them. It basically gave me a good starting point instead of having to hack up my own CSS from the start.

They also claim to help resolve several of the CSS differences between browsers, but I haven't tested that first hand yet.
