When you want to resize an image for display on the main page or as a title, my suggestion is to not resize the image in the [height='' width=''] arguments.  Instead use your favorite editor and make the modifications to the image and keep two copies of it on the site.  The smaller one will have more detail that way and you won't have to worry about forcing an image to look different from what it is supposed to.  There are hundreds of examples you can find online, even here.  The oringal size of the AO logo weighs in over 8MB, but we don't want the logo to be 8MB for each page load, instead it was shrunk down for a more suitable download.  Also, when putting in images make sure to put the proper width and height so the page renders faster and there are no table jumps or image shifting.

Don't use frames on a professional site, unless you are trying to show off some form of functionality or have a very intense administration front end.  Use tables to design your pages instead.

Have a look at the source of my site if you would like some ideas on how to do resizeable tables and still make them look good on any browser.
