Not so much 'ugly', more along the lines of 'not there'. You've constructed a 3 column layout & put everything where it 'should' be.
I applaud that you are trying to put all of your formatting in the CSS, now just try being a little creative with it. (mostly) Tabless designs like you have chosen can be tricky when using a standard column format, but if you play with it some, you will find that you can have a lot of fun (and frustration) seeing how far you can push it.
I'm one of those that likes to challenge what you can make tabless designs do (even if I do end up pulling my hair out sometimes!). Your part way there already. You have chosen to hand code, and you have chosen tabless/css... your next step is to be creative :-)
Check out the sites in my signature, they are tabless/css. By no means are they fantastic, but, you will see that with a bit of playing around, you can do pretty much anything you can imagine :-)
