im absolutly Bobberish at CSS but i dont think it meant to be in the <HTML> tags. Thats a guess cos i dunno nefing about CSS lol

EDIT: Your not meant to use CSS for the actuall page. You have to link it in somehow...

The CSS is in the <style></style> tags if you would care to look :l
Also you mean the DIV's which are HTML :/

You have put full stops before the class name, where it should have just the class name instead. The reason you have full stops in the CSS is because you're saying that it can be applied to any element.

For example instead of:

<div class=.nav>
Use:

<div class='nav'>

Edit: Also, you might as well just set the align with CSS rather than using the align attribute.
