As for your problem, the first issue is that your background is set for a static height, so anything that is larger than that is going to scroll past it:
<img src="images/home_02.jpg" width="306" height="560" alt="">Next up your width is apparently smaller than the width that your news management system is configured for, so it is pushing the boundaries of your layout (I have used cutenews at one of my sites and to integrate it you have to edit some of the templates to match your site...its a lot easier to do if you are using CSS...)
You also have no DOCTYPE set for this particular page (home.php) and 6 other validation errors. Your initial page also does not validate.

Use FF to view your web page as you make corrections. It is the only CSS2 compliant browser out there so far. If your pages look good in FF and not other browsers, then it's the other browsers at fault. IE has many parsing problems and is many years behind being compliant. That's why there are so many hacks to fix IE's version of what your page looks like when compared to what FF shows you. Doesn't hurt to check your pages in other browsers either. Takes time I know, but well worth the time.

EDIT:
Ok I have done most of those things and both pages are W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional validated. Now, what is the actual procedure in making the content expandable?

W3C validator is still reporting errors. 149 of them!Ok both pages are validated, but I still can't manage to save the home page without the bg being a bunch of images. Suggestions?

Knew it had to be something! LOL Post back if you need additional help and thanks for using GTG.

Actually I do.. I wanted to know why the text in a table always starts in the middle of the table and not the top? (where I want it to be because that's the beginning of the content box). I have to press enter numerous times to get the cursor to the top, but now it brings the layout down and I have unnecessary space at the bottom of the layout below the actual content. Hope you got all of that. Thanks.

I would work on a template page to be used that contains items you will want on every page. Something like a header and footer with nav links. You can have more then one CSS stylesheet. You can make one separate for your nav links unless you are going to use simple text links then one CSS should suffice.
A banner or logo can be placed in a simple set of div tags like <div id="logo"></div>. Then all the styling for the div with your banner can be done on the CSS. If I remember your page, you already have some styling between your head tags. Anything that is not related to table styling can be moved to the CSS stylesheet. Also, noticed that your frame page and its style sheet is being pulled from another site. Is that site yours?

As long as PS slices look good on first load in all browsers you expect to be used to view your site, I wouldn't worry about them. Some people have had problems with slices fitting together on first load properly. Annoying to refresh to get rid of any white lines that may have appeared. The complexity of a web page may be time consuming for PS slices. I would go with coding, but it comes down to what you feel comfortable with.
