And I must now say ... Sorry but it still doesn't validate, it still has 6 errors .. see this link ...
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.dotradio.uni.cc/
and neither does the css validate these are the errors there ...........

  • Line : 19 font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last alternative
  • Line : 26 font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last alternative (this usually means having a generic font such as serif as the last font choice)
Still, it's a lot better than the original 130 errors ... :o)
What validator are you using that misses these errors?
If I may suggest here, a visit to this particular website would be very enlightening ...
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/ 
and down at the bottom there are links to books he has written which are very useful in understanding CSS and it's implementation...
