want to move the text to the left, when the text gets over the sun it is hard to see. it looks great,

C as in Clinton, or Courting? I assume the former (in which case it's great to hear from you). If it's the latter... well, it's great to hear from you, too.
What browser are you using - in mine (@ 1024W rez) the text stops before it gets to the sun... but it is a little hard to see the brighter it gets.
as in the first and I am using firefox @1280w rez.

Yeah, I got fire fox too. A little hard to see, but I think we're the minority. I like that you're being different. God speed.

I want the photo to fill the whole window like this:
http://www.ecclesiahouston.org
Which I know is done with flash. :(
Or like this:
http://highwayvideo.com
Which technically is a video.
All this to say, I like it and I want more.
Version 2.03
Now with gradients for those who like big screen resolutions. Are my relentless taskmasters pleased?
Which is to say, thanks for the comments. Woot!
I should also say, I'm hampered by using photos I post to my other blog as images for this background (and that limits me to 1024). I think the gradient is a decent workaround for that. What thinkest thou?
Updated, AGAIN, this time with the poor users of IE in mind. The text of the blog should do a decent job of hugging the left side of the page, with a bit of a margin.
Does anyone see anything else? Are there still text-visibility issues?
In IE6 and Firefox on PC, it looks great. Much better. It's a tighter implementation of the photo. I can see what it looks like on Safari and other browsers on the Mac if you like.
Resizing the browser window, it still looks pretty good. If you're still concenrned with reading white text over the sun (which I came make happen when I resize and scroll), can you put a transparent background behind the content. (I think it's possible to do with CSS, without an image like a GIF or PNG).
I had intended to do that (semi-transparent background for content), but couldn't find the right command in the time I was willing to spend looking for it.
I'd be curious to see if it still renders properly in more obscure browsers.
Forget more obscure broswers. This article says that IE5 for Windows doesn't do transparencies at all. It appears to provide a couple of workarounds too

Firefox for Mac and Safari render your page great. The only difference, it doesn't move the background image or the text when you resize it skinnier and skinnier. This isn't a problem unless people like to view websites at about 2 inches across.
