I just completed an "alpha"  version of a for-fun website related to my audio hobby: http://www.klipschcorner.com/

I have not had to do much in the way of web design for a while but I set out to make this design work using only CSS and DIV tags, tables are the way of the past or so I read.  I had a fairly frustrating time at this.  The last time I had to do any kind of real layout was a couple of years ago.  It seemed that you could pretty easily support a good layout with Firefox and IE without creating conditional code by using some basic CSS stuff and tables for layout.  With the current CSS implementations of IE, Firefox, Safari it seems that I'm back in 1998 with even some very basic things looking radically different in each browser.
