This isn't too bad, really. The 6 empty divs are all serving a unique purpose
that couldn't be served by anything less. The 8 div flexy box (which this is
just a variant of) is fairly well established.
But you could remove at least one div, maybe two, elsewhere.
#header could go away. if you increase the bottom padding on the h1 and set
the background color on it instead, you get the exact same effect.
The bookmark div could be changed to a ul instead, if you're planning on
putting a menu (and only a menu) in it. If you want to have multiple things
in there, keep the div.
The other thing you might do is set a max-width on the content. In a
maximized browser window at 1280x1024, the lines get too long to be
comfortably readable.
