Hello, fellow web designers!

I just did my first attempt at creating an entirely table-less page (as 
opposed to the table-intensive pages I have been using before, if 
you've ever seen my work.)  This page uses only CSS and the 
<div> command (things I have shied away from until now, partly out 
of not fully knowing what those commands are about) to layout the 
data.

I have put up what I have designed at 
http://www.homepagesplus.com/test/david (the subject matter would 
probably be boring to most of you, flags and other personal symbols 
that I've designed for our family, including our one-week old son), I 
would very much appreciate a response, especially as to how I can 
do it better and how I've misued CSS (if at all.)  

The part I'd especially like feedback on is the menu at the top of all 
the pages (except the index.html page), it was really hard to layout 
everything, the resulting code is very clunky (could probably be 
streamlined a lot), and the menu area is still too big for it's need 
IMHO.

If you feel that the list (and other people trying to go table-less) 
would benefit from your feedback, don't hesitate to post to the list 
and myself.
