Your top bar, "Web Development Forum :: The Web Directory - Directory || Feeds - Blog", doesn't fit properly on the light blue background.

It's a heck of a lot of white space on the middle of the page, you may want to consider condensing the left column a bit.

Why does my cursor turn into a crosshair when I'm over the people's faces? Feels like I'm hunting. =)

Your page doesn't seem to validate, even after forcing a DOCTYPE (i tried xhtml 1 transitional and html 4 transitional) and character encoding.

You may want to consider moving the title of the page a little more center. Where it is now, it's kind of too far off to the side; I know I didn't see it. Perhaps align it with the left column.

The site looks not too bad in IE. I do not understand the crosshair also?
When changing the width of the browser window, the blue title-bar changes in height? Nice effect, but probably not intended.

Have you tested the site in FireFox or Netscape? The main part is placed underneath the left column! Not very nice...
Also the top-bar (forum etc.) falls halfway in the blue titlebar.

The Testimonials are aligned justified, this creates big holes between the words. Only use this when the text is in wide areas.

Ah, that's what I see. I wasn't on a computer with IE installed, so I judged it based on Firefox.

I generally find writing valid code works.

Try validating your code against W3C standards.
As I mention above, you'll need a DOCTYPE, you may want to use HTML4 or XHTML1.
There are many articles explaining HTML vs XHTML, I won't go into details here.

One of the biggest movments in modern web development is the separation of content and presentation.
This basically means take all colours and positioning and layout-related stuff out of the code. It looks like you've done a good job of that.
Another common trend in modern web development is not using a table to structure your layout. Again, it looks like you've done a good job of that too.

For now, get the DOCTYPE in there, I suggest a character coding (looks like you're using iso-8859-1, Western Europe), and then keep validating and fixing any errors that come up. I also suggest HTML4 Transitional, unless you fully understand the differences between HTML and XHTML, and benefits of either one.

A lot of your HTML4 validation errors look easy enough to fix... put ALT text on all your images and change the ampresand to an entity in your HREF's...

Yep, writing valid HTML and CSS 'code' will indeed solve most of your browser compatibility problems. Leaving you with some tricky ones... come back to this forum for those ;-)

I always design my pages using IE (since almost all users have this browser). If everythings looks okay and is validating I open FireFox and 'stare' for a while. Then I go and fix the differences so that both browsers look okay.
This will give you a site which will work in most modern browsers!

heh, I work the exact opposite.

I develop in Firefox and then fix the IE errors.
I'd like to see my page the way the standards dictate, then see how IE interprets it =)

Layout and design is nice. I agree with the all comments mentioned above.
In addition I could monitor that you should fill top blue bar with some relevant picture and slogan. And I think you need to focus on background color and you should remove white spaces unnecessarily placed.
