For Tai - a diagram of my CSS

website.JPG

If you stripped all the text and images from my site, you'd have something that looks like the above. The container called "nonFooter" holds everything except the container "Footer." Inside "nonFooter" are two containters - "mainbox," which is floated left, and "rightimage," which is floated right. Inside "mainbox," there are two more containers - "nav," floated left, and "content," floated right.

Red = nonFooter
Yellow = mainbox
Blue = nav
Purple = content
Green = rightimage
Gray = footer

When I was playing around with the CSS, before I typed anything in, I gave each container a different, bright background color so I could see the website as just blocks of color. It helped a lot.

THANK YOU MATT! I was starting to think this is what you were doing, but I had a hard time getting there on my own. I love this method, I think I will try this to help me out! THANKS AGAIN!
