Ryan,
Thank you so much for your help, I have a LOT of things working much better now.
However, I have some issues with widening my left column... what part of the "main column" am I suppossed to change? Right now my page is too wide for my screen because I increased the left column by 20px.
Also on fancy categories, the main.css is very hard to understand, what part do I change to make the "floating box" start the 20px further to the right?
EDIT: Fancy Cat problem solved, I figured it out
EDIT2: Ok that seemed to change problem #1 a bit ... now basically my "main column" text just starts too far to the left, the page no longer does not fit on the screen...
