Hi Craig,
A) Styling a <hr> is pretty difficult, if you want the same result for 
all browsers. I should think: use a border-bottom line instead.

C) You can float-left the left side as well as the content column, and 
then make a clear-left (that is: turn around the order: first left 
column, then the content). In this way the footer will always be under 
the lasrgest column.

B) To avoid IE-issues (and who knows problems with some other browsers), 
I should suggest to make background-images of the quotemarks,

See for A and C a test page over here 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-creed.htm>.
(Some more hints inside the source code.)

Succes,
francky

btw-1: To give IE-owners the opportunity to scale the font size 
(especially when needed at big resolutions), you should always set the 
font-sizes in relative units! (in em's, after a general body 
{font-size:100%} ).

btw-2: There was 2 times an ID with the same #links name. Doesn't 
validate! ;-)

btw-3: In IE the is a 3px difference in height for the header-img 
relative to the sidebar along.

btw-4: In case of an image in the html, if possible give it the height 
and width in the html, that will render more efficient. Then before the 
img is loaded, the texts of the page are already good positioned around 
the spaces of the images (no jumps after loading the images, always some 
milliseconds later).
