Other more experienced may help better then me. 
Still. I would play with floats.

1) Add overflow:hidden; to your #container 
2) Add float: left; to both: vmenu and content;
3) Add overflow:hidden; to your #content
4) Group on a div, your h3 and img inside #content;
5) Float left your blue div;
6) Float left your red div;
7) Give your #footer the following: clear: both; (or left);
