Hi,
Let me pick just one formatting item to start, so that it won't get too confusing.
The page at practicewriter you posted has a font-family of Times New Roman on ONLY the one title element and here's the code:
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Burton Holmes Travelogues</span>
What you may be seeing on different displays is Lack of Code, i.e the browser in absence of font-family will default to whatever default font-family that is set in its setup option. For IE, that's Times New Roman. When there is another font-family that may be controlling display of the page (in general), that may also be seen as the overriding font. That's why I'm seeing both Times New Roman and Arial on the same text displayed in either view.
That's at least one possible cause of the multiple views you're seeing.

Edit: In checking the before and after of that removal of the top table, you also removed the <span> that was dictating Times New Roman for all the page content.
