Well done, the site does look good. I'm not a fan of tables either, but I do try and get my html to validate. You have a few errors on the page - you might want to check out the following:

About done with high school, eh? Boy, I feel old now :)

Yeah, a lot of the validation issues come from Arc's somewhat stubborn nature regarding tags that should end with a slash.

For now, I've moved the doctype to HTML 4.01 Transitional and all is well. I really would like to go back to XHTML though.

The CSS could use some work too, but most of the issues with that are my early adoption of some css3 standards.

Given that the browser with 80% to 90% can't handle XHTML properly, and after long drawn out debates in usenet over the best doctype, I've personally settled on HTML 4.01 Strict. Once I discovered how IE actually handles XHTML, that sealed the deal.

As an update, after much heartbreak over not knowing about (cdata), the RSS now validates as well.
