Thoughts, comments, la la. None of the links work, is more layout / design of what's there that counts.
Much obliged in teh advance.

I still say i didnt copy it, i had never even seen your site.
Just let it be.

That's where Mozilla does my head in. Instead of just padding, it widens the box to pad it.

The only way I could think of (off the top of my head) would be to use margins or padding with percentages to set this.
To do with the site I'd say that the colour scheme's a little too eclectic for me, try and concentrate on one console or just don't have three colour schemes on one page. Also you need to markup your code far more semantically. Kudos for not using tables incorrectly, but you shouldn't be using so many absolutely positioned divs with inline styles. Learn HTML and CSS it takes a week to get to grips with it fully (if you learnt PHP it'll be a cinch).
Oh, and if you can get Designing with Standards by Zeldman or Web Standards Solutions (I think that's the title) by Dan Cederholm.

It does seem a little cluttered with the boxes, but the main title image is great. Again a less cluttered 800x600 version could be my hob, or not...

Oh, I remember you! You copied my old design :P
I could use it for the text, pretty easily, by just finding and replacing the fontsize tags with CSS class bits.
I've got 5 weeks to kill, so it's likely.
As for the images, I'm afraid that's the way I like it and I do heartily suggest a broadband connected; again, if I can be bothered I may make a less image intensive version. Maybe.
I still can't hack it completely as Mozilla handles things completely different to IE which buggers up most things.
While we're on the topic, is there any way to position text in the middle of a div, not the center, the middle (as in top, middle, bottom.)
I'm sure what I'm doing is correct, it just isn't working.
