So I decided I would try to make a website that is completely valid, and very simple. So far this is working out well, but there is a white space in between the main content area and the navigation area that I don't know how to get rid of.
Here is the code:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>My Portfolio</title>
<style type="text/css">
@import url('style.css');
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<h1>The Portfolio</h1>
</div>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about">About</a></li>
<li><a href="contact">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="main">
<h1>This is a header</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph where words normally go. People tend to read words.</p>
<h2>Part one: Heres a start</h2>
<p>It is important that you know the letters asdf and jkl; because these are the keys you should have you fingers on at all times.</p>
<p>If you find that you hands are in another place, then you are a noob</p>
<h2>Part two: how not to be a noob</h2>
<p>Juz don typ wid bad spelz. Some people use lorerd isbum delorio what ever its called to fill up random text but now me!</p>
<p>I thought that I would put mroe text into this example because after all who doesnt like realding a lot of text on the screen. Its cool that way, and I right, idk. STFU</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
