Remove the "<?xml ... ?>" from the page. IE6 and earlier don't like it
and it puts those browsers into Quirks mode.
You have one validation error, the "XML reader" link. It belies the
"Vaild CSS" bit in the footer. Also note the typo: Vaild.
The links on the top menu would be better if they become more readable
on :hover rather than less.
If you like wide margins, use % to specify them. This way the content
does not get squished on narrow viewports.
Use the correct dimensions for the images. Or size the images to the
dimensions specified. Browser image resizing uses only speed as a
criterion, not beauty. Result: ugly.
The code links should be to proper HTML pages, not raw text.
The body text is rather dense. Consider adding a line-height attribute
for the body text, say 140% - 160%. The default is usually 120%.
