A: 

Making sites IE-compatible is a lifelong endeavour. IE's own developer toolbar helps a lot. QuirksMode has a formidable library of browser compatibility information. I see you're already using jQuery and a CSS template, but it bears repeating that piggybacking on frameworks that have already been developed with compatibility in mind helps a lot. If you're not comfortable running virtual machines, Browser Shots is a pretty good tool to make sure your site works a variety of OS/browser combinations. Finally, I would consider IE6 to have a low enough market share to justify not concerning yourself with that level of compatibility.

About that market share: w3schools.com is mostly visited by people interested in web design and it is more likely that they use a more modern browser than IE 6. In real life, I come across IE 6 many times, like in several companies, university computers, public libraries, etc. Also read [Why the NHS can't get its browser act together](http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/jan/22/internet-explorer-nhs-vulnerability)…
