Hey EricM,
Call me nutty, but I've been looking at your site in FireFox (0.9.2) for about 10 minutes, and I dont see any issues?
Can you clarify specifically "what" text--and what the issue is?
I've been staring at a screen all day, and I might be going buggy, but I see no issues?

Sorry, I finally figured it out. I just had to split the lower background image into two background images.

But since you have been looking at it for so long now MartiniGuy, how do you think it looks? It's not done yet but, do you like the idea of the background images with the link text over them or does my current homepage look better. (the test page is what I am hoping to have my homepage look like.)

I really dig the test page...the center content stuff is really slick. What I'd suggest though is working the header and side columns to mimick the design of the cool (rounded rectangle) center stuff. While you are on a roll--it'll be worth the additional effort!
Great looking so far...

Thanks MartiniGuy! I'll keep working on it and working on it and working on it... whip.gif
