I have had the same problems with graphics for the web, especially text. I
examined your page quickly and IMHO it did not look real jagged. When I use
drop shadows in my graphics, I same the image as a .jpg. A .gif image seems
to be more useful for solid blocks of color and a .jpg image seems to work
better for gradients and photos.
