body {
background: #dff;
color: #000;
font: 100% Georgia, serif;
}

#name1 {
height: 450px;
padding: 0;
margin-left: 10px;
background: transparent url('col.jpg');
color: #000;
border-bottom: solid #a79372 5px;
}

What is the purpose of "#name1" ? If for holding text, I would switch
to using em units for the height and margins, so that the container
expands and contracts with the text if/when a visitor resizes.
