1 - Evita usar posicionamiento absoluto, baja puntos en accesibilidad ademas de que te estropea todo el layout si no sabes usarlo.
 
  2 - Como tip, siempre ponle el ultimo punto y coma a los codigos, asi si tienes que agregar algo no te pierdes por que no te acuerdas que te falta el punto y coma. 
 entre otras cositas que tienes que arreglar, modifique el css completo, tenias mucho codigo innecesario, por ejemplo, no es necesario usar top y left en todos los selectores, mejor usa float para posicionar. Checka el codigo y dejanos saber en que parte tienes duda.
