I wish I could re-design the site (all well, I might though pretty soon).

It looks good, so far, and I don't know if you caught this yet, but the 'Sponsor' button is spelled wrong---shouldn't be hard to fix. Good luck, and great site!

Umm. why would one not use tables for this layout. I despise frames, iframes, and such.

I never said anything about frames...

I meant html that just looked like

<body>
<div id="header>
<h1>This is a header</h1>
</div>

<div id="navigation">
<ul><li>Link 1</li><li>Link 2</li></ul>
</div>

<div id="content">
<p>Content paragraph...</p>
<p>Another paragraph...</p>
</div>
</body>

Also, the W3C didn't standardize EVERYTHING. So the browsers were forced to figure out how stuff like color or padding apply to things like horizontal rules, or how about a <br> tag?! And thus, we have the situation where we have multiple things for multiple browsers. http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=HorizontalLine
is the simplest solution i've found so far though.

A standard <br> tag I think is <br /> (it is for XHTML anyways).

What that has to do with styling things in CSS escapes me, but yes, in xhtml, you need to properly close everything.
