I am much obliged. Everything you hit on has been nagging at me (i.e. on the logo I am using width and height with percentages, hoping for the logo to span the page as requested by the site owner. But this results in a pixelized img. Any further suggestion here?). I will incorporate your suggestions but thx much for giving the site the once over.

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="" becomes <img src="" />
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.
