I'm making a simple page that uses css floats to align it and there is a large whitespace between two of my divs :(, could someone help me fix it. I've looked on google and tried a lot of things, but I haven't found anything.

Xhtml

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>

<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="sitename">Sitename</div>
<div id="navigation">
<div id="mainnavigation">
<h3>Main Navigation</h3>
	<ul>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
	</ul>

</div>

<div class="latest">
	<h3> Latest News</h3>
   		News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.News Goes here.
</div>
<div class="latest">
<h3>Links</h3>
	<ul>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>

</div>
<div id="content">

I tried to clean it up a little and I made the colors darker. I know it's still confusing but could you please help anyway.

Here's the new code.
