Hey, nice design (though I can't see the image, ImageShack are doing that thing where they just don't answer a request for so long that the browser gives up).

Looks like the default margins/padding might be messing you about. Set:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}... then override as necessary. Also, validate your page (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://underground.ninetwozero.com/test.php), and if you're going to serve it as text/html, don't use an XHTML DOCTYPE. The correct MIME-type for XHTML is application/xhtml+xml, but be aware that this will prevent IE users from accessing your site. If you don't have a clue as to what I was just talking about, you definitely shouldn't be using XHTML. :)

No. The selector * has the lowest possible specificity: any other rule will override it. Your site may need some tweaking afterwards though.

The answer for next time, of course, is to not use DreamWeaver in the first place :)
