I painted the background-colors of your current page and added a little content: <http://www.chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/layout09.html> You are not far off, and some minor adjustment will do the trick. That being said, the difficulty is perhaps more in understanding the Web than CSS. The Web is a fluid medium that is controlled by her users. It is highly probable, for example, that someone in the world will need the text larger because they are unable to read it (even though I reset your page to default). View the page I put up in IE at text-size 'largest' /and/ in FF at +1 font-zoom. The text moves but the absolute positioned containers do not move; consequently, the layout breaks. Some of us believe that accommodating the Web and her users is what Web design is all about. If you agree, you'll find things will go easier for you(and your users) when you do not structure the layout with absolute positioning.
