Building out a simple online resume. I was originally planning on trying to get this up on themeforest but I was rejected today. Would like your opinion on what I can do to make it better. In particular typography sucks I think. Would love to brush up on my design skills with your help :)
When looking at the code I noticed that you didn't utilize things like the h1, h2 or even p tags which can really give you better control of your layout with little effort. I'd use and h1 tag for the John Jones name, h2 for each section (Professional, work, ect) and h3 for the position and/or skills.
Also, you have a slight case of divitis. Some of these div's can be avoid if you use good markup. Such as the .clearboth, if you use an h3 tag there is no need for it. Make it easy for yourself man.
There are a couple more things but I'd really work on designing with web standards (which is a good book by the way), especially when submitting it to places like themeforest.
Design wise I'd touch up on typography and add a font-family instead of having your site at the whim of the users browser/computer in the case they don't have that one specified font. Work on leading (line-height), and specify the font-size, i think you didn't have one. I think.
Typography is an art by itself, you should pick up a book called Thinking with Type or go to the site. Also, there is an online book http://webtypography.net/toc/ which goes over web typography. It has to just feel right.
