Validating My Website; Why? What tools? Help me?

Why Validate?
Validating your coding is no way near a must but if you do validate your website it shows a few things; patience on your part, because it is not an easy thing to do. Confidence with codes and the web - not to mention your desire to make your website as user friendly as possible.
But it is hard to do and if you don’t know how it can feel impossible.
What is validating a website?
Validation is simply putting your pages, codes and website together so that it works perfectly, for you, your visitors and search engines. It’s like putting a car engine together properly, it could work with the odd bit out of place, but it works better when everything is 100% correct.
How can I test my website?
You can submit your website, a page or some coding here: http://validator.w3.org/
CSS Validation
Just to make things more frustrating, they also validate CSS - this for me is the most important, badly coded CSS can be the bane of all problems. You can validate your Cascading Style Sheet here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

I’m really stuck. I’m v. new to CSS. I validated my CSS, but it’s still not working. It’s at http://www.super-star-101.co.nr, and my html is at http://www.super-star-101.co.nr/stylesheet.css.
