You need to put the link to the site in your post if you would like it to be reviewed. Start with http:// and then type in the rest so we can link to it. It is cut off in the title.

I finally figured out your website address:
http://www.hospitalsoup.net/smile/
The site is "pretty" and it validates, but it is not user friendly. When I click IN the iframe window I can only read the post by moving the scroll bars. I cannot use my mouse's scroll wheel at all. When I do, the whole page moves up and down, even though the cursor in in the iframe.
This is a prime example of how NOT to use iframes.
Yes, they keep the text over the picture, but they make it very hard to read. The type is very small and the inaccessibilty factors are...well, it's inaccessible. Non-web standard.
When using MSIE, the "scroll wheel in iframe" works, but more and more people are NOT using MSIE any more and they need to be taken into consideration.
The photograph is lovely, so consider setting it in the background as fixed and having ALL the text move across it. That way, the picture would stay the same, the look would essentially stay the same, but the usability would be much better for everyone.
Also, having your content inside of an iframe means that search engines will not find it since they do not search through iframes. If you want to be "noticed" get it out of the iframe.
I just reviewed http://geckow.net/blog and their use of the fixed background image is what you are looking for.
