Hi Guys,
I have just put the new design of my site live. I know it is fine on IE8 and FF3.5 I was hoping you guys could let me know if it has any problems in any of the browsers you use, and also give me your comments on it. I didn't design it, but I converted the PSD into xhtml/css. Click the first link in my signature to get there.

I don't know if you've
I don't know if you've changed something since posting but its far from fine for me in either IE8 or FF 3.5.
Have you tested in in a wide screen display? I'm on 1680x1050 and the design doesn't appreciate it at all.
A picture is worth 1000 words so...
FF 3.5
and IE8

You've solved the issue with the main content but now your footer hovers about 40px above the end of the screen.

Your code is clearly written
Your code is clearly written from a (IMHO misguided) SEO perspective rather than an accessibility perspective. All the titles on images and links are pretty much unnecessary for a real user. It's doubtful how beneficial they'd be for SEs either (and most of them don't actually make sense as sentences). The big banner image should actually be a background-image or at the very least have a null alt attribute because it's not actually content.
The rollover arrow images in the left column should be combined with the default state:
a) so you don't get a delay waiting for the new image to load; and
b) to reduce http requests.
The spacing between the 'Latest Articles' and the 'Latest Blog Posts' boxes is different from the space between the others in the left column.
You get a horizontal scrollbar at 1024 x 780.
The header is generally too big for interior pages as on smaller screens nearly 3/4 of the page is taken up with it and very little view of the actual page content.
The change from normal layout to blog layout is a bit jarring and if it were me, I'd just make them both the same.

The rollover arrow images in

Please explain how to do this?

Put both states of the image
Put both states of the image into a single image and move the hover state into view by changing background-position.
