I would like to ask the list of its view on which technique seems more
appropriate (read: trouble-free) for a large 3-column site with mostly
dynamic contents.

Method 1:
Opposite floats - #box1 floats left, #box2 floats right (with another
#sub-box 1 and 2 inside also floated left and right).

Method 2:
Negative margins - floating 3 divs left, and using margins and negative
margins to arrange the columns. (The primary column appears first in the
html, but visually as the center column).

The center column will be your typical corporate site, sometimes with one
article spanning the whole width, other times with 2 or 3 smaller news items
or similar next to each other. Also note that the site will have a fixed
width, although I'm considering using an elastic layout. Regarding that,
I'll also appreciate any comments on using keywords for fontsize as opposed
to 'em'.

These might seem like very broad questions, but in my experience having the
basics of the site nailed down will help avoid many later unnecessary
issues.

Thank you,
Eystein.
