Ah. That is caused by a lack of support for a CSS2 attribute known as "min-height". I have specified the minimum height for all 3 columns to be something like 450px. In browsers with poor CSS support, this will cause the W3C validation links to appear over top of the text in the links column, as the columns will not appear long enough. I could easily hack it to fix it in other browsers, but I choose not to. I do enough of that at work, that I feel the need to code as it SHOULD be done at home.
The lack of content is because I have yet to code the news script. Basically, I am going to code an administration page that will allow me to add content via a few text areas. What you see there is the basic layout I am going for. If you are curious about what it REALLY looks like, try upgrading your browser to something more modern, such as
Mozilla Firebird, or
Opera, which both fully support CSS2.
