I am kinda new to the whole html/css thing, but i managed to make a decent page for my portfolio website, so far. The things is, that is looks like crap in Internet Explorer. I have tried to optimize it, so that my css animations work and so forth, but i can’t seem to make it work properly.

If you take a look, you’ll know what i mean. It should work properly in anything but IE.
if anyone could give me some advice on how to reach my goal, that would be great! 🙂

And yes, i know my code is messy 😛
