Help! Footer Issues

I need help with the footer for a basic code. I can't seem to figure out how to make the vertical mini-line below and centering the links on the bottom of the footer. I just can't seem to get it right. Thank you so much for reading through this and helping me out. Thank you!

This is what I have got thus far:
[CODE]
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>

<head>
<title>Verkefni 6 - Uppsetning vefsíđu</title>
<link href="verkefni6.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">

<header>
<h1>Halldór Laxness</h1>
</header>

<section>
<img class="right" src="laxness.jpg" width="90"/>
<p>Halldór (Kiljan) Laxness (fćddur Halldór Guđjónsson 23. apríl 1902, dáinn 8. febrúar 1998) var íslenskur rithöfundur og skáld, jafnan talinn einn helsti íslenski rithöfundurinn á 20. öld.</p>
<p>Halldór var sonur Sigríđar Halldórsdóttur (fćdd 1872) og Guđjóns Helgasonar (fćddur 1870). Fyrstu ćviárin bjó hann í Reykjavík en flutti ađ Laxnesi í Mosfellssveit áriđ 1905. Hann tók fljótt ađ lesa bćkur og skrifa sögur, og ţegar hann var 14 ára gamall fékk hann sína fyrstu grein birta í Morgunblađinu undir nafninu H.G. Ekki löngu síđar birti hann grein í sama blađi undir sínu eigin nafni og var sú grein um gamla klukku.</p>
<p><img class="left" src="laxness2.jpg" width="120"/> Á ferli sínum skrifađi Halldór 51 bók, margar blađagreinar, samdi ljóđ, leikrit og fleira. Halldór hlaut Nóbelsverđlaun í bókmenntum áriđ 1955. Hann var tvíkvćntur og eignađist fjögur börn. Frá árinu 1945 átti Halldór fast heimili á Gljúfrasteini í Mosfellssveit. Ađ frumkvćđi Davíđs Oddsonar, forsćtisráđherra keypti ríkissjóđur Gljúfrastein af Auđi Laxness, ekkju Halldórs, og opnađi ţar safn til minningar um skáldiđ haustiđ 2004. Auđur gaf safninu innbú ţeirra hjóna.</p>

Hello jezebel,
Look at it this way -
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
	<!--[if IE]><script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script><![endif]-->
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
	margin: 0;
	font: 100% "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #000;
	background: #fc6;
}
		/* HTML5 tags */
		header, section, footer,
		aside, nav, article, figure {display: block;}
#container {
	width: 800px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding: 400px 0 0;;
	background: #999;
}
footer {
	width: 700px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	overflow: auto;
	border-top: 2px solid #fff;
}
	footer a {
		padding: 10px 0;
		display: block;
		text-align: center;
		color: #fff;
		font-size: 0.8em;
	}
		footer a.left {
			width: 348px;
			margin: 2px 0 0;
			float: left;
			border-right: 2px solid #fff;
		}
		footer a.right {overflow: auto;}

</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">		
		<footer>
			<a href="http://www.gljufrasteinn.is" class="left">Gljúfrasteinn - Hús skáldsins</a>
			<a href="http://www.mbl.is/serefni/laxness" class="right">Sérefni Morgunblađsins um Halldór Laxness</a>
		</footer>
    <!--end container--></div>
</body>
</html>
Based on this 2-column demo
and this bit of HTML5 implementation
