Something wrong with my code

I’m just now starting to learn different web languages, and I am having problems with my e-portfolio for my journalism class.

http://www.cuevolution.com/portfolio/index.htm

For some reason, the stuff that I typed on the left shows up differently in every browser. For instance, on one browser some of the message shows up to the right of the xml menu. On other browsers, it squishes the page together and puts the message at the very bottom and there’s a bunch of white space between the e-portfolio image and the very bottom where the message actually shows up.

I think it has something to do with the pre tags, but I’m not sure how to fix it. Please help a newbie out! I’m really trying to learn this stuff on my own, but this project is due in a couple of days.

PS: The only links that are up on the menu are the “January/February,” “Literary Journalism,” and “Music of My Life.” For the jan/feb page, the picture shows up at the very bottom as well… again, I think it’s a coding problem.

Thanks!
