Hi Scott,
Here's the good news, your site looks great in explorer! I really like the primary colors, mouse-over links, and the content looks very interesting. I plan on going back and reading more when I have time
The design is nice, I would change a couple of things:
1. "mirror" the dog and have him face into the page.
2. move up the right column to align with the other two columns.
3. Could polish the page by adding a graphic or a rule to separate your logo from the content.
4. I might move the words "travel guide" in the logo on top of the "og" in dog -- just a thought.
now for the bad news
when you say:
"Looks best with IE 4 +, honest!"
Your absolutely right!
when I first entered your site I used netscape 4. I got the dreaded java error window:
JavaScript Error: http://www.infomatch.com/~cdtg/, line 131:
syntax error.
window.s<b><font size=
...........^
The links still worked but the mouse-over didn't. Some of the links weren't reading properly (ie. the first one was only a line)and linked to the women traveling alone article. And some of your code was "showing" in that column.
For some reason your fonts are mixed up on your bottom links, the one that says "ATM locater" in times and the other two in ariel. The lines framing the right columns also don't appear using netscape.
I wouldn't have noticed the missing mouse-overs or lines if I hadn't gone back in explorer so in that respect, it works well enough. I would fix the java error and showing code though.
Oh, last thing, your amazon.com banner is not showing in either browser.
Aside from the "netscape" errors I think you've done a great job with that site so far, it looks bright, easy to navigate and read
take care,

A few of my own points, I like the dog at its current size and colour but agree with flipping him round.
- Give that extra dimension to your text by adding Italic and Bold comments.
