i am not going to go through it step by step but the first error is because you don't have a doctype. They like you to let them know what kind of html you have used.
In your css, you have forgotten a few closing } tags.
Right after the body tag you have a closing </div> tag.
You have to remember that when you open a tag, you have to close it and nest them properly.

it's something you put at the beginning of your html document to let the browsers know what kind of html you used, or xhtml
it can look something like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

after i replied to that other thread, i started going thru your code and fixing errors and some that i remember are you have 2 <body> tags, you have a <style> tag with a whole style sheet right in the middle of your page, and you have a lot of errors in your style attributes. You also have a lot of incorrectly nested tags.

How do you know what kind of HTML you're using if you do it by hand?
some good tutorial site will let you know what version of html they are teaching you.
transitional is usually a safe bet to use as that is middle ground to everything.
