My Site won't work on IE 6. Please Help!

Question

I am very much a novice, and I'm floundering my way through
Dreamweaver. I have a mac, so I use safari and firefox to check and
see how my site (
http://www.nathanielsphotography.com/
) is working. It just came to my attention that my site doesn't
work for 97% of the world. Anyone willing to look at my site and
help me out? I'll paste the code (which I mostly copied,pasted,
then spliced from sites that had features I wanted to mimic). I
just got CrossOver for mac, so now I can view my site through
Explorer to see if my eventual changes will work or not. Do I need
leave any other information? Thank you for taking the time.

A few disconnected jottings:-
Not sure what you mean by not working for 97% of the world.
I can see it with IE6 / FF on windows xp - but it is very
wide and the
image is off to the right.
<!--DWLayoutTable-->
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<td width="945" height="503" align="center"
valign="middle"><div
....................^^^
and its because of that width - try it set to 800px.
But its's difficult looking at the code as you are using
frames !!! ??
. Not recommended around here.
As you say looks like you patched code from many sources and
you have
inline CSS in more than one frame so again difficult to
decipher - and
it will be difficult to maintain.
The experts here may well say through away frames and use
css, but
they may be a leap too far - so why not use tables as an
interim step.
move all the css to external style sheets
as it is a commercial site - surely it would be much better
to host it
on a server with it's domain name rather than redirecting,
this would
make things much easier.
There is very little text for the search engines to use.
Would it not
be a good idea for some copy stating what the business is
about, where
you are etc etc - rather than just have a
oh and although the sound has gone on Firefox, it is still
there with
IE6.
Hope some of that helps
