Build

You can "clean" your code there

To build this XHTML1.1 Strict Valid and CSS Valid web-site I have :

ejs.css, ejs-pages.css, ejs-plan.css : for my css specifications (background, links colors)
nospam.js : for the java-script used for unspammable email display
collapse.js : for the java-script used for collapsable lists
nav.html : my naviguation bar
model.html : a initial file for all pages
footer.html : used for the end of all my pages
.htaccess : to manage the authorisation in my site, to redirect some links, to set my own 403.shtml and 404.shtml errors files

I wrote this site by hand and I discovered that things changed a lot since the last time I learned html.
The principal differences I have noticed are :

Every element should be closed, so the one which don't have a closer part end by ⁄> :
  became  
<hr> became <hr ⁄>
<img src="" ...> became <img src="" alt="always a alt"... ⁄>
<meta ...> became <meta ... ⁄>
a  should always have its <⁄p>
Some elements changed :
...<⁄i> became ...<⁄em>
...<⁄b> became ...<⁄strong>
<font...>...<⁄font> became ...<⁄span>
You should indicate in the headers what kind of html it is
Capital letters should be avoided for attributes and elements names
Tables and lists can't be inside a <⁄p>
Text can't be by itself, it should be in a <⁄p> or <h1><⁄h1> or a table or etc...
To have an image without border, it should be set as a style of the image, for example
<img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" src="..." alt="..." ⁄>
You should replace the & in the url by &
Give semantics to your page, use h1, h2,..., lists, address, acronym,cite,...
