1. unless I declare * {margin:0; padding: 0;} many objects do not fit
in the layout and get pushed down. Now, I tried to limit my paddings
and margins so I don't know where they come from.
Will have to rip the entire layout apart to see what's bugging it -
something I don't have time for.
Generally: Many elements have default-values for margins/paddings other
than zero, and they are not the same values across browser-land.
You have to declare your own values if you want them to line up
cross-browser wise.
Also, in IE5/win and IE6/win my #sidecol gets pushed below as well
even though (I think anyway) it should have enough space.
It's the margin-doubling bug in IE/win.
Add...
#maincol {display: inline;}
...to "kill" that bug and make the columns line up.
2. My blockquote area, I pushed it out of its nesting div#maincol and
IE5 and IE6 do not show what's out of the div area.
Add...
/* hide from IE mac \*/
* html blockquote {position: relative;}
/* end hiding from IE5 mac */
...and IE/win will "paint" what's outside the column-edge. It's a bit
further out than in other browsers though, so you may also want to give
IE/win its own margins while you're at it.
3. One last thing, I wanted to control my main image in CSS so I
could replace it in every page using my CSS document. But as a
result, I think it loads very slow. Would you think so too? and if
so, any ideas?
Images take time to load, and a new, large, one for each page will slow
them down a little. Not much you can do about it other than to optimize
file-size for those images.

You have also triggered the 'em font-resizing bug' in IE/win.
see: <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_13.html>
Add...
html {font-size: 100%;}
...to "kill" that bug.

Generally: the header/navigation part of your page isn't designed to
take any degree of font-resizing in any browser. Navigation and
text-line starts overlapping other elements.
You should test font-resizing options in all major browsers, and redo
that part so it works a bit better.
