I'm on ze Interwebs!

I just made a portal for my website, leiseus.net. For those who ever visited that site, it was just a bunch of directories that you could see there. Well, not anymore! It's orange and there are some links to the pages I'm trying to update regularly. Most of the pages were created somewhere this year and here are the stuff you don't know yet:

Yeah, pies!

You should focus on your big project rather than your website, because that's the thing I'm looking forward to!

I notice you're using h4 elements for each subsection. Consider using h1 instead, and re-styling h1 elements to fit your intended visual effect ( ... )

Thanks for reminding me to validate, I forgot to do that. Even though I've done this before, I still have to get into the whole XHTML/CSS stuff everytime I start, because I'm so used to HTML4 which I used to do a lot in the olden days. Last night I was just happy I got the tableless format working, I forgot to validate and fix everything.

I'm not sure if I done it correctly though, I have one div on the left with all the site-names and one div on the right with all the descriptions and played with the spacings until they lined up correctly. I have the feeling I can do this line per line instead of my method right now, but without using tables I have no idea how to do this. Do you have any idea?

As for semantics, I used h4 for the size and kinda sticked with that. I haven't read much about using XHTML properly for semantics though, so I have to check that out. I mostly learn from tutorials and what I see in other people's code.

At least it validates for now! :P

PS. do you check code all the time when people tell you about sites?

Developing general, fluid tabular layouts -- without resorting to TABLE tags -- is admittedly still a pain in the ass, and in some cases quite infeasible. You can use tabular display in CSS (see the "table", "table-row", and "table-cell" display settings) but it's not as easy to understand as TABLE, TR, TD, etc., and what's worse, not every browser actually renders it properly ( ... )
