I think you are overdoing the divs
And the id won't work. With id's you are only suppose to have 1 per page..
You need to you a class.
<div class="port_item">
<h2>Title</h2>
<img src="image_1.jpg">
<p>descriptive text</p>
</div>
.port_item{...}
.port_item h2{...}
.port_item img{...}
.port_item p{...}
