No pro here either. I also just work pro-bono for non-profits. But I've
received much help from this list & will try to give back a little.

Actually there is more work to do within the browsers you have
available. I see you are targeting 800px window/viewport width. To avoid
horizontal scroll bars on 800px viewports you need to set overall width
to less. Many use 770px. I believe 748 is "safe" for most common browsers.
Then play with font sizing. You fall victim to an IE misbehavior where
extreme font changes result because you used 1em as the body default.
Not that 1em isn't good -- these tired old eyes wish more folks start
with that. Use percentage instead (only here, em's work fine after
that). I use 100.01% and can't remember the exact reason for the
fraction. I believe to work around an earlier Opera problem ...
> I can't figure out if and when and how to use what hack.
You're doing the right thing to avoid hacks. Use them only when you have
to. You asked us to be kind, so I'll only kindly offer that I was
disappointed to see all the table tags. <smile>
