Some friendly word of advise?

I know this is going to be crap and filled with errors but I thought I'd just post up how far I've got with my site design.

Please take into account I've just started coding as I usually pay someone else to do it and concentrate on the design side so please be kind when telling me how I'm getting along

Alot of stuff still needs sorting and styled but you'll get the idea. Also how do I set the footer to stay at the bottom?
