Hi Mark,
First of all it looks like you are resizing your images using the width
and height attributes on the img tag. If those dimensions do not match
the ones on the image then your images wind up being pixelated (like
they are on the logo).
A quick scan of your code, replace your <b> tags with <strong>, change
your <br> tags like <br /> to close them, same with the image tags <img
src="/whatever"> becomes <img src="/whatever" />
Get rid of any align attributes. You also need to specifiy a doctype
etc, that's why the page won't be getting anywhere if your checking it
in the W3C validator.
From a design point of view, bring the font size in the left hand
column navigation up a bit, it should be quite important, I'd also make
that nav column match the width of the logo, bring the headers "gifts
for the holidays" and "tea talks" up to match the top of the navigation
box, if you do those three things it will square the page up a bit more
and make it look more attractive.

All,
I have been lurking in the group for some time and have been humbled
by the
collective wisdom present here. I am hobbyist (security
network/academic type by trade)
trying to get up to speed on webstandards to help redesign a few
non-profit orgs that I am associated with.
Actually the site I need input on is not so much a non-profit but a
small business that my future mother-in-law runs.
here is the address of the old site:
http://teagarden.biz/index.htm
The current redesign and css file:
http://teagarden.biz/newindex.htm
http://teagarden.biz/teagard3.css
I'm having a lot of problems with margins and incorporating other
dimensional concepts into the site.
I welcome all comments. Thx
