You have HTML comment marks in your CSS file. (<!-- and -->)

There are some CSS errors:

...or: using them indicates to the coder "this paragraph is over." Kind
of like adding an "End Function" line in programming code.

Ok. Transitional is for 'transitioning' legacy pages.

If you were to use multiple <br>'s, some browsers collapse them to one.
..mycontent p { [styles] }
<div class="mycontent">
<p> ... </p>
<p> ... </p>
<p> ... </p>
</div>
Your test page doesn't fit in my browser window, and presents a
horizontal scrollbar. That's annoying. <g>
What is the reason for the tables? Google up: CSS 3 column template
