Actually it is not a portfolio it is a personal homepage (kind of
promotional)
which may contain anything. I'm going to move it to www.dejkam.com
portfolio.dejkam.com is temporary.

Oh! that makes me mad too, IE and Opera do change the font-size of
text inputs but Mozilla (as well as your browser) don't. do you know a work
around for this ?

Ignore that, I just copy pasted those keywords from my older website, will
optimize it later.

What more can I write in them? do you have any opinion?

Why is it strange? it is an image representing text which is also a heading,
text-only browsers
like lynx understand that.

Oh thanks for that, actually I've started writing XHTML after about a year
gap,
I forgot that lists can be bulletless, I'll correct that, I think I know
which parts of
the code you are referring to.

I know that too :) again can you suggest a workaround for that without
changing the appearance?

Well, that is intentional and not to fool the validator. All those images
with alt="" are decorative, in other words they don't have any meaning, like
those photos in my photography column. if I write something
in the alt attribute, for example for the first photo write alt="picture of
apples"
text-only browsers would render that column like this:
Photography
picture of apples it is my first passion these days....
I don't want this to happen.
