Another little comment supasoulsista:
You are redefining the size of an image that is 794 pixels by 248 pixels to be 1024 x 768 (width="1024" height="768"). This is why the image is distorted.
Hint: keep your page less then 780 pixels wide, a lot of viewers are still using 800 x 600 resolution. Why 780 and not 800 you ask … Because you have to account for such things as menu bars, scroll bars and possible tool bars.
Hope this helps sista.
