You should only use position: absolute when you absolutely have to. It can cause all sorts of problems, because different browsers will display absolutely positioned items differently. Instead, use a margins, padding, and floated elements.

You'll also want to put your CSS in an external stylesheet and link to it using the following:

Code:

This helps separate the presentation (CSS) from the structure (HTML), which makes your website much cleaner. You can also place CSS code in <style> tags, which go in the head of your document.
