Bit of a follow-up on this.

The site went live on yesterday and looked just fine to myself and a few
others who looked at it for me.  Then today we got calls from people who
said the site looked wonky, the content block was showing up *below* the
left menu.  Turned out that with all of the position hacks I used both
IE and Firefox considered there to be ~30px of space to the right of the
content block, so if the browser was sized anywhere near that space it
would move the entire block below the preceding block.

To fix it I ended up re-thinking my scheme.  Instead of having a narrow
content block and pushing out the sides I made the content block the
full available width then added horizontal padding to the p and header
tags, leaving the images to float where they were originally.  I still
then had problems with the browser "pushing" the content block below the
menu so I changed it from relative to absolution positioning, problems
solved!

Just thought it might help someone else some day.
