    anyone heard of this software?

    Yes I have heard good things about it but never tried it myself. I think it's like a dreamweaver kind of thing. I am sure that there are limitations to what it can achieve though.

    Question: Dynamic Background and top header.

    What I suspect they have done is put a picture in the middle and then have two other pictures repeating on the sides. This is a typical design technique that ensures the image stays the same on all resolutions. This is how it would be achieved: <div id="container"> <div...

    You should use meta tags or else it won't index well. Also try an external stylesheet. I can't see the problem that your describing. Oh and change the title - at the moment the page is titled "Untitled Document" :-)

    WEBSITE CRITIQUE: Design Portfolio

    I am completely anti IE6 as well. But 14% is a hell of a big percentage so I am afraid that it is still our duty to support this terrible browser. More than one in ten of your clients could be using IE6. We just have to wait for Microsoft to force it's customers to upgrade to IE7.

    '>' character in CSS

    It is valid and very usefull CSS. If you have a div named test and you want all the direct descendant divs from test to have certain style then you use it. For example: #test > div{ background:#ccc; } This does not work in IE6, however.
