Thanks, this information is very helpful.
I'm running into a few small problems still.
I loaded my website in 3 different places. IE (local file), Firefox (local file), and Firefox (uploaded onto my webspace). Each of them look different. For instance, each displays the text location differently. In some displays it placed perfectly, other times it's on the banner.
I also still have that space between my images but if I load it in IE it's not as obvious.
