The example I posted was meant to be used to show you a few techniques that you had apparently not considered, not to be your final layout and markup. instead of absolutely positioning items [url=http://disk919.com/bb2/www/samara/floatflow.html]try floating them if you want to have other elements flow around them (similar to the img align attribute in html 4)[/url].
