Please bare with me as I am new. My website is www.thebomb102.com. If you
view it with anything other than IE, it comes out all distorted and it's just
a mess. Anyway I can make it available to all web browsers? Felt kind of
stupid giving someone my business card and they were on a Mac, they went to
the site and it was embarassing.

Redo the site without Text Boxes, or anything from the "drawing" toolbar
(VML Graphics), which work only on IE, as you've seen.

I'd suggest using tables to position your text and images.
 
Dump the VML graphics, which probably provide most, if not all, the
problems.
There are always alternatives to VML, such as conventional images (to
replace word art), bordered tables and divs (to replace text boxes).

VML will only work in IE5.5 and later running on Windows. Other
browsers, including earlier versions of IE will not display VML - they
will instead show a poor quality .gif or nothing at all.
Hyperlinks placed in VML text boxes may not work at all in some
browsers, particularly non-IE, and probably the older versions of IE.

FYI, VML graphics are produced by using text-boxes, WordArt, and any
other object produced using the FrontPage drawing toolbar. Due to the
restrictions outlined above VML should never be used in a public
accessible web site.
